I didn't know it existed until ~October(?) last year. My $lastEmployer (animation studio) had a demo day where in-house people would demo some personal projects they were working as well as exhibit entrants' works to the actual demo scene. It was insane, I would never dream of being able to produce most of the things I saw. If I remember correctly we watched demos from the 4K category to the 1 or 4M category. Procedural graphics, audio, emulation, it truly is an art form.
