Screensavers didn't just exist to prevent monitor burn in. Otherwise we would just have the black screen one. Or a moving logo. It was one of the first opportunities for creative coders to express themselves to a large audience, using a new art form. (1/3)
Screensavers are wild and showed all kinds of other possibilities with computation. Pipes? Flying toasters? Lissajous figures? As a kid the computer was most interesting when you didnโt touch it.
People have asked me what made me interested in digital art, and Iโm likeโwhat else could the daughter of a computer programmer who grew up on Winamp music visualization plugins and raves in the 90s be into???
Windows screensavers also turn 30 years old today! IdleWild, included in Microsoft Entertainment Pack was Microsoft's first screensaver application. It included 22 whimsical modules that showed boat races, bouncing lines, fractals, moving star fields, and more
