DEMOing Is Dead

A new emerging art form I don't think so! Digital craft? No more than any other!

It's nice to see these screens again but unfortunately since the commercialisation of the internet they have all died out, well nobody makes them anymore. I've download cracks and pirate software regularly since the heady days of the ZX spectrum and run the risk as most other unethical users do of downloading an EXE that is itself a virus or mail sniffer or snooper or some such. The hacker groups now use a text file as a way of advertising their contact details these have images made up out of text.

Is this art? Well I don't really appreciate it, I just want the serial number so for me no it's not art, if someone collected a load of them and exhibited them who would they appeal to? Really who would appreciate it?
