I saw a presentation of ascii art by a then young budding artist Bointon (not sure of the spelling) -- in 1969 -- yes 1969. He was from the KU art department as I remember. He was getting ready for an individual show in New York City-- creating the latest of a series of masterpieces before our very eyes. We were flabbergasted as his card punch creations came out of an IBM printer. Could this be all there is to art??? we mused and slid in a few derogatory jokes to boot. By the way, he also re-created so-called music with the printer being the source of a Sousa march while he was punching cards for the next masterpiece.Oh, for the good old days.
My "edit" window timed out. What I was going to say was, this teletype art was traded among operators on their teleprinter networks. One operator would type "I'm going to send you a picture." The other guy would start his tape perforator, and the first guy would hit "send." The receiver would not only see the image printed out, but would have his own copy.Thus, peer-to-peer file trading actually existed before the Internet, the modem, and even before computers....
This young lady does really dense much more realistic type potraits. she takes a digital photo then acts like a very slow printer...www.keira-lyn.com/pictures%20first%20page.htm
