To explain how this works will take a lot.
TLDR: bro makes specially shaped sound that wen put into an oscilloscope (name of the little screens) creates images.
Long version:
Oscilloscope is a device used in labs for visualising a signal. It has a screen and two inputs. On the screen there is one dot that can move and the screen remains light for some time, so a signal that is repeating can look like a stationary shape, not just a moving dot.
It of course has the ability to see the signal in relation to time, but for us, the important is mode that sets the first input as control of the X position of the dot and second input as the Y position control.
Then he creates the image through a computer program that just has the shape inputted in vector images (that is a way to store lines/functions as images in a computer) (you can just make that image in Inkscape), or in this case, an animation. Then the program just figures out how to move the point along the lines, that means using complex math, like Fourier analysis, to figure out a pattern of what voltage the input must be set on both axies separately and then the computer or some outer device makes those voltages, which go into the inputs and make the shapes.
As for how he makes it do the sounds, anyone’s guess. If we assume that the same signal that makes the images is in the speakers, I think he just distorted the signals so the speakers sound roughly like music to human ears.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk

As a wannabe audio enginerd, this scratches an itch I didn’t know existed.

O-scopes are not easy. I am impressed!
