This is a surprisingly delightful niche of computer art I've never seen before. Poke around the homepage some, you'll find some very creative ones.

You’re in for a treat! The demoscene has a fascinating mix of high technical skill with artistic ability.

This is a good overview of some of the best demoscene stuff of 2020: https://youtu.be/CVAvuhNBt-Y

What exactly are we looking at here?

mov al,13h ; 2 int 10h ; 2 frameloop: les ax,[bx] ; 2 mov ah,0xcc ; 2 mul di ; 2 mov al,16 ; 2 fractalloop: ja snobby ; 2 inc ax ; 1 snobby: adc dl,[fs:0x46C] ; 5 (f&^k this shit!) sbb dh,dl ; 2 ror dl,cl ; 2 adc dl,dh ; 2 jno fractalloop ; 2 stosb ; 1 jmp frameloop ; 2 nop ; bonus, because 32 bytes was too much free space for me.

Thanks for the concise answer :)

Anyone care to comment on the name ?

From the source:

; Inspired by "Auguries of Innocence", a poem by William Blake

;

; To see a World in a Grain of Sand

; And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

; Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

; And Eternity in an hour

And 32 is of course the size in bytes of the executable.

Double-bonus, 32 is also the word count of poem plus title (sans author name).

My brain could not admit it was 32b and insisted on parsing it as 32kb anytime it was displayed. It's when I saw the demo, expected more, then go wtf!?...
