Blake 32

As alasdair_ mentioned, this is some impressive demoscene stuff. Which, if I may take the liberty, is all about maximal creative output (subjective, I know) with minimal data footprint. In case you missed in original post, a video of the demo:

32 bytes!

And its last byte is a NOP, quite a flex :-).

    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.

A contest-winning 32 byte computer program that displays amazing visuals. Part of the “demo” scene.

Writing "demo" scene is like writing "web" site: come on, this has been around since the 80s. We literally have a post on the front page about demoscene being a recognised cultural heritage now.
