The demoscene is at the intersection of art, music programming, hacking, online groups, tech festivals etc. It has a long history with a tremendous corpora of productions, techniques, culture, publications, etc. It's probably the biggest sub culture that nobody has ever heard of, with thousands of computing enthusiasts getting together in arenas to literally show off their code.
In the demoscene, code is art.
Its participants will literally consume years of their life on a production for nothing but the pleasure of it.
When I saw the title of the course I immediately assumed at least half the semester was going to be on the demoscene since no computing based cultural movement I'm aware of more succinctly speaks to the course title than the demoscene.
