I feel like screensavers and music visualizers are similar art forms, and both flourished for only a short period of time.

I guess music visualization still has a niche industry in live performance or creating video entertainment. But screensavers...




I think everyone in this thread should familiarize themselves with the demoscene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene)

It's 30 years old now and still going strong, and it'd be right up your alley.

There's plenty of trippy, interesting, or technically demanding audio/visual demonstrations for you to run, emulate, or just watch on youtube.


And Geiss combined both.
