I forgot about this, thank you! It was literally my screensaver all through the digitalocean build and got me through a lot of rough days. The clicking, I dunno, I spent too much time getting into weird click rhythms on this site. I would buy whoever made it dinner. https://www.cachemonet.com/save/

You're welcome. The site has also got me through lots of crazy programming sprints, somehow! haha. That along with looping the "Architect " scene from the Matrix.

Edit: Shit i didn't know there was a screensaver. You're the OG how you discover that! :)

Works almost like stereograms (with duplicated object)!

You mean those magic eye type things where you cross your eyes and see 3D? I love those. In fact that would be a cool Cache Monet variant to create. Get AI to produce two appropriate stereographic views of the same animated GIF, then it's like Cache Monet in 3D. Simple concept but not trivial I imagine.

Sound on! Song name is: Windowdipper from ꪖꪶꪶ ꪮꪀ ꪗꪖꪶꪶ by Jib Kidder https://jibkidder.bandcamp.com/track/windowdipper

also, seems like they have another project https://feel.thatsh.it/ and I'd love to find that song as well if you can help haha

That song is also pretty nice. I wonder if that was an earlier project?

I'm keenly aware, I have a pretty extensive collection of Hacker News bookmarks. It's hard to articulate why I think these are different, but I think the best way to put it is that cachemonet feels a lot more avant garde, and perhaps also a reflection of a very particular form of "web culture" that has no clear successors. People are experimenting with what you can do on the web, but the experiments aren't very "aest…

I wonder when peak demoscene occurred .. some of those mini code demos seem artistically and technically innovative.

To me demoscene is kind of synonymous with the Amiga, so I would argue that peak demoscene lines up with the rise and fall of the Amiga brand.

So I think that's maybe the other differentiator between web experiment and art, because demoscene has a very distinct but difficult to describe cultural element that makes me identify it as art.

That probably depends on what is being displayed... at some point I had sounds of USB connect/disconnect (possibly from the Windows 7 era).

I think GP is referring to the name of the site, which sounds like "cash money" if you pronounce it with a thick American accent.

Indeed, I just understood the same when reading it again... I answered too quickly
