"In my thesis, I study Amiga ASCII text art. Amiga ASCII is a form of text art
where the composition of letter characters set in the Amiga computer's font
forms a two-dimensional representation or image. The Amiga scene is a
subculture of computer enthusiasts that was popular in the 1990s. At its core
are the logos and other visual materials created for BBS systems and the
competitive rivalry among artists who create text art over their image-making
prowess.
I delve into the creation of Amiga ASCII art and use it as a method to develop
my visual expression. I define text art as one style of visual art, which
includes ASCII art and its sub-genres, and I briefly describe the history of
text art and ASCII art and the subculture associated with it. In my thesis, I
focus especially on Amiga ASCII text art and create a collection of images from
my experiments with this image-making method."
An excellent thesis! I hope it got high marks. Via Esther Schindler.
