He used a core dump (writes all the not yet deleted information on a hard drive to a single file) then uses the hack to output this to a video.

Here's a screenshot from the video....

In context an interesting piece, clever coding. But take this out of context & what are you left with but visual noise. I will need to delve further to find something that grabs me or relates to my theme.
