About

DemoArts is where you can find high-quality video captures of Demoscene productions, available for streaming or download. The intent is to celebrate the demoscene and make the various works of art it collectively produces easier to enjoy.

While it remains and indisputible fact that viewing productions as intended, running live and unrestrained on bare hardware, it can often be a challenging task to do as time passes. Productions often come with strict hardware and operating systems, even specific drivers might sometimes be necessary for them to perform as intended. So a high-quality video can often serve as a good substitute.

The videos on DemoArts are made using the state-of-the-art AV1 video codec with the 10-bit main profile, together with the Opus audio codec. Not all platforms support these technologies yet, older smartphones in particular may struggle with smooth playback. However, it is the spirit of the demoscene to push technologies forward and I believe this will improve with time as newer hardware are released with native support to handle these technologies.

DemoArts will always be available for free and without advertising, but will offer early access and other perks to supporting members.
