so, in my completely amateur opinion, guessing, totally speculating, based upon listening to 5 of them in full and then scanning across random ones from across all 444 of the videos:
these sound like really slowed down, time-stretched samples. if you time-stretch pretty much anything to a ridiculous degree (like making a half second clip into a 40 second clip), they almost always come out sounding something like this. so if i had to guess, they set up a patch to automatically timestretch samples and then convert them to visual data, then dumped 444 of their audio samples into it and uploaded the results. i've been fucking around with max/msp quite a bit over the last few months, and it's certainly capable of outputting visuals like the ones seen on these videos.

i'm gonna grab the audio from a couple of these videos and see if they make any sense when time-stretched back to a 1 or 2 second clip.

poll widget can't handle 444 items so I guess it's going to have to be a ballot poll
101 is my favorite so far

this too:
earlier this week shared production files of their own making for various pieces of widely used musical technology from the companies Elektron, Nord, and Akai (see: factmag.com)http://www.factmag.com/2018/11/15/autechre-share-elektron-nord-files-mpc-samples/
keeping up with autechre is a young person's game ;_;

someone's scanned the images I guess? Is it some sort of Arecibo message stuff?

going back to NTS because... well my theory is that I'm always around one or two Ae albums behind the latest releases and I want to see if it's clicked any more.
I have to admit, a lot of NTS is impenetrable to me - claustrophobic and arduous for the most part - but violvoic is FANTASTIC
