demoscene, flashing images, tasty glitches 

In 2017, Linus Åkesson released "A Mind Is Born", a 256-byte-long Commodore 64 demo with an intense glitch aesthetic. It runs for two minutes and twenty seconds and includes evolving visuals and soundtrack.

It accomplishes this by using several parts of the code to do double or triple duty, contributing patterns to both graphics and sound while partially modifying itself in the process.

Especially to scroll down and see hex of the entire executable in one screen.
