Mistigris computer arts

Today on Mistigram, a tiny, almost throwaway monochrome high-ASCII logo Blocktronics artist (and TeklordZ veteran) Mattmatthew tossed off to help us let people know our 20-year reunion artpack, MIST1014, had left the gates… nearly two years ago now. (He also put in a number of other necessary labours, up to and including setting up this very Tumblr to act as our most substantial pulpit.)

It wasn’t included in the artpack in question, but was quickly repurposed to act as FILE_ID.DIZ for the re-released “best-of Mistigris” Living Closet artdisk, finally being shared with a wider audience since its failed distribution on floppy diskette at an art party back in 1999

With a nip, a tuck and a tweak, the logo (the elegant “M” massive and masterfully designed, leaving plenty of room for almost occult ornamentation, the “Mistigris” perhaps the smallest possible rendition of the full group name in only two rows of characters) was also put to work extensively in the MIST2000 Treasure Hunt, including this colour-cycling variant reserved for the grand finale… which to this point perhaps no more than three people have ever seen.
