This actually took long enough to load (25 seconds?) that at first I wondered if the loading animation was the referred-to art.

The actual art is interesting, but ouch.

At first I thought "What ever happened to calling it a demo?", but these go beyond that. Some clever public API (ab)uses to be found.

I really love code as art. I do a bit during my free time, but it's a dream to do it full-time.

Does anyone know how to break into this field?

No mention of demoscene on the entire site, very disappointing. For some OG dev art, do head to pouet: http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?order=thumbup

I can't wait until code is no longer seen as this mechanical and mysterious thing. Stuff like this will no longer need to be explicitly be "Art with Code", instead it can just be "Art made by describing it"

Yeah it's unfortunate they didn't mention the demoscene but if we're talking "OG", there's a history of media artists creating "dev art" that goes back to the same time if not further.

E.g. Videoplace (~early 1970s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmmxVA5xhuo
