HELLO DID YOU KNOW? People make visuals that are smaller than an SMS (256 bytes). Since they are not recorded video, they can be changed any way you wish. It is maybe the opposite to all the things that everybody loves to hate: software updates, über-consumption, compatbility, inefficiency, recording, the illusion of the universal computer, and so on. Outside of galleries, academia, and clubs, "the demoscene" has turned this into some kind of art. It is a subculture constituted by groups competing with audiovisual productions which show off their skills with a specific technology (or imposed limitation like this). Demos are maybe more like craft than art, and many demoscene productions are not very appealing to people outside the culture (just like art and academia!). I hope that these videos are interesting not only for demosceners or programmers. To me these are ideal examples of wo-man-machine interaction, where media materialism meets software magic.
