  • greetz greyscale -- less restrictive than it seems on the surface because with white and black colours plus light grey and dark grey (all useable as both foreground AND background with iCEcolour), plus the four ANSI shade blocks... that actually gives artists worryingly a lot of nuance to manage. h/p/a Hayes AT command set hex hexediting

a good start!

Plus some of the Wikipedia scrapes and Artscene Dictionary entries need to be radically revised (basically rewritten):

AAA ACiD Productions ANSI art artpack artscene groups ASCII ASCII art BBS Creators of Intense Art Dark Illustrated diskmag - vs. e-mag FILE_ID.DIZ Fire Graphics iCE Enterprises lit Pablodraw RadMan Remote Imaging Protocol SAC the Blade Nation TheDraw etc.

...

It may be useful to consider the general disparate categories of terminology we may need to get into in order to explain our weird past, present and future:

BBS / SysOp jargon (term programs, door games, echomail, etc.) early Internet (IRC, shell accounts, telnet, newsgroup, MUDs, webrings, etc.) terminology vintage computing (MS-DOS, C64, Amiga, Atari ST) subjects computer underground (hacker/warez) culture and slang phreaking terminology computer graphics/audio/programming topics (bitmaps, vectors, anti-aliasing) '90s popular culture phenomena (Image Comics, etc.) computer music topics Just Vancouver things art history (Dada, pointillism, etc.)
