   Davis Makerspace presents a screening of the movie
   *The Art of the Algorithms*, a story by Szilard Matusik about the artists
   and programmers who made graphical and sound shorts during the 80*s and
   90*s without the aid of graphical tools. Starting in Eastern Europe, the
   popularity of the form grew from the underground distribution of pirated
   consul video-games, that had unique intros or *demos* to games.  As the
   form became more popular, the games were downplayed, and the demos took
   center stage.  Large communities of enthusiasts created beautiful
   movements, shapes, and colors with only the smallest amount of
   computational processing, quite a feat for any era. For more information,
   go to: http://molemanfilm.com/about-moleman/about-moleman-2/ .

    

   DMS will demonstrate a newly made demo by Wesley Aptekar-Cassels and also
   answer questions about their tools and facilities.  Refreshments will be
   provided.  This event is free and open to the public.
