ANSI Art for the Masses
Back before there was the Internet, early caveman dialed into computer bulletin board systems or BBSes to get their online fix. Many of these boards distinguished themselves with ANSI art, an early form of electronic cave paintings. ANSI was an extension to the even earlier form of caveman communication known as ASCII used in MS-DOS based computers. It is with great pleasure that we happened upon the San Francisco hacker art gallery “20 goto 10″ where an ANSI art exhibition was in progress. Irina Slutsky talks to curator Kevin Olson who takes us on a tour of some of the amazing early work of two ANSI artists, lordjazz and somms.

That was cool. I liked how they drove the monitors off DIY video cards. The explanation of the characters was mindboggling. Having to compose an image using a keyboard for something over 14kbs modem is pretty damn cool.

whodathunkit… ANSI art from the BBS glory days on display at an art show… and in scrollable goodness. one of the cooler webisodes i must admit. at a time when diggnation and other geek/nerd IPTV shows are getting lame… GETV takes the cake. keep up the quality, humor, and bustiness.
