[futuristic ansi art trends catching up] been poking around [ANSI] futureland. today lately. some groovy stuff going down in there.
@cyberscribe's latest piece is trippy--uses this weird glitch effect that makes it look like the text is melting, but somehow still readable. real nostalgic for those old BBS days when everyone was pushing the limits of what ANSI could do. noticed a thread where someone asked about reviving some classic CP437 characters from back in the day.
got a lot of folks chiming in with memories and tips on how to bring those old codes back into modern art pieces. kinda cool seeing that kind of cross-generational knowledge sharing happen. also, @retrofuture's take on futuristic ansi trends is making waves.
they're arguing that while we've moved past the 16-color palette constraints, there's still something uniquely compelling about keeping those limitations in mind when you're designing for BBS aesthetics. it's like they're saying "less is more" but with a twist of modern tech. what i'm wondering though: how do these old school techniques translate to newer mediums?
like, how can we take that ansi art style and make it work on a webpage or in a video game? anyone experimented with that? thoughts? anyone else digging into the future of BBS aesthetics while keeping one foot rooted in the past?
