I once spent hours looking for an internet archive or community of demo scene files / artists. There doesn't seem to be one out there in the eyes of google. Can anyone familiar with this art form please provide links to your your underground hangout? :)
[edit] maybe http://scene.org also ?

Easily forgotten, a lot of today's demos' complexity lies behind API calls to graphics drivers and OS system calls, whose implementations don't count to the byte limit.
As a matter of fact, demo producers are offered more and more API choices. Compare what you had to accomplish with tinkering around with bare-metal BIOS interrupts in the 90s, compared to a full-fledged DirectX API including GPU-raytraycing almost out-of-the-box.

The lossless 60 fps high definition video capture is currently unavailable (traffic limit). Any mirrors (or torrent would probably be a pretty good idea)? YouTube 1080p version seems to have pretty terrible quality.

Cool, but I think my favourite 4k demo is still Elevated, which is much less obviously procedural. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YWMGuh15nE )
Of course the OP is brilliant too. Kudos to all these guys!

Just like early PC 4k's used the BIOS/DOS interrupt routines which were not counted either. And before that, there were all these custom purpose built chips for doing graphics and audio synthesis. When making 4k intros for Linux (may apply to other platforms) you have to do your own startup and runtime linking code because otherwise the executable will go over the limit before it does anything. Because of this, you w…
