Wherever we have a rough spot, he's holding it together, specialising in infofile art and demoparty participation. -- Codefenix is a retrogaming and retrocomputing enthusiast, to the extent of being SysOp of ConstructiveChaos BBS and dressing it appropriately in ANSI art. conchaos.synchro.net / @codefenix@mas.erb.pw -- An absolute newcomer to the scene lurking in the shadows of the great ANSI lords, only time will tell if ConsoleJockey is up to taking a place on ANSI Olympus someday. How to contact them? Shoot a message into cyberspace and cross your fingers! -- Darkman Almighty administers the USS Excelsior BBS, and picked up a little ANSI art along the way so as to better skin his Starbase in cyberspace most appropriately. excelsiorbbs.ddns.net:2000 -- discGator is holding down the text art beat in some rarefied niches of cyberspace, now including ASCII illustrations in our own artpack collections. discgator.flounder.online / twitter.com/disc6ator -- Notes from Underground: DosDoc makes infofile art for the Western literary canon and posts it up in public spaces to impress elites and baffle illiterate lamers. instagram.com/dosdocone -- DW of Dark Systems BBS has been adapting video game sprite art and bead / cross-stitch patterns of classic and nostalgic nerdy subjects into ANSI art versions, free for all and sundry to make use of... but is graduating to more elaborate an interesting projects. Stay tuned! dsbbs.ca -- Taking inspiration from the basic medium of ASCII art, Joni "nscii" Caparas treats the characters as design elements on a black canvas, in a fashion similar to, but fundamentally different from, artscene ASCII practice. Basically, from their base in Berlin they've reinvented the artform from first principles. instagram.com/joninscii / jonicaparas.com -- Kurogao is another bleeding edge textmode visionary straddling the related but very different worlds of ASCII art and emoji typography, blending both into vignettes. instagram.com/kurogao96 / twitter.com/kurogao961 -- littlebitspace experiments with text art, now turning it into a line art medium, now dabbling with the use of negative space. littlebitspace.com / mas.to/@littlebitspace / @littlebitspace.bsky.social -- Mavenmob is an interesting case, informed by equal parts of the philosophy of J. Krishnamurti and his artscene youth in Blade and Echo. mavenmob.com / instagram.com/mavenmob / oldbytes.space/@mavenmob -- You won't see any of Mavrik's creative work in our recent archives, but there's a very good chance that the collection will have passed through his graciously-offered web hosting at mistigris.org en route to you, picking up from his historical facilitator role greasing the gears of Mist's KiTSCHNet echomail network from its home at Daemon's Gate BBS. daemonsgate.com -- Melodia doesn't need an artgroup, she is an artgroup. One more case of the parade continuing after the band stopped playing, courtesy of the bottomless music in her head she kept on keeping on -- and indeed, has never stopped. We are humbled by her continuing association with us, as to her, all we have to offer is drag factor! soundcloud.com/xennial -- A '90s ANSI art acolyte recently finding his way back to the fold, Nitron has made up for lost time releasing solo artpacks and making guest appearances, putting up Hold Fast BBS, and is currently minting screens for BBS door games like it's going out of fashion -- 25 years too late! instagram.com/_n1tr0n -- Part of a peculiar current of untapped anxious ANSI art energy charging new talents on the periphery of the digital underground, this time around Odd got zapped with the voltage. @TheOddFireCat -- Andy "the60ftatomicman" Garber is a software developer who built their own ASCII animation suite. github.com/the60ftatomicman / mastodon.social/@AndyGarber -- A 16-bit guy in a 64-bit world, VileR grew up when baud rates were lower and signal/noise ratios higher. A bizarre pixelling accident in the mid-'90s left him trapped in an artistic timewarp bubble somewhere on the inert fringes of the demo-/artscene. However, he was recently seen crawling out of the woodwork and into projects such as the 8088 MPH demo, and may occasionally be observed busying himself with nameless and unspeakable oldskool-related machinations. 8088mph.blogspot.com -- From Twilight, the Legion, Avenge, Fire, Fuel and through to Blocktronics, the Swede known as Zeus II is a one-man ANSI art industry. Also, a hell of a cook! twitter.com/Zeus_II -- home base: mistigris.org affiliated BBSes: conchaos.synchro.net excelsiorbbs.ddn.net:2000 bbs.inktwo.com:23 bbs.planetcaravan.org erb.pw/the-bbs bbs.stormbbs.com web galleries: artpacks.org demozoo.org/groups/22737 chat with us at: discord.gg/9R84QUN oldbytes.space/@mistfunk or find us on social media as "mistfunk" at: Bluesky, Cohost, Instagram, T2, Threads, Tiktok, Tumblr, Twitter or YouTube and our usual round of greetz to our colleagues at: blocktronics.org, Fire Graphics, Lazarus, Legacy, impure.nl, hermanas del perro magnetico, galza.org, paleotronic.com, soundcloud.com/bitcouver, vanchipmusic.ca, ArakNet and TABNet!
