Today on Mistigram, a curious piece of abstract ANSI art we used as the header to our infofile in January of 1995. This piece, by 604 artscene elder Tzeentch, was clearly something very special – but just throwing it in the pack as a complete work, a couple of circles and lines fending for itself at only 13 lines long, wouldn’t have played to its strong suit. Prior to this work, he was renowned as a fontist and typographer; contemporary to this period, he released further works of abstraction, including one you’ve seen here before – his “Sunrise in Cyberspace”, released in the same artpack, which we eventually used to illustrate the release of the song “1995 - A Rave”.

The evocative caption: “circles - the ascent to power, the rise of the people.” What does it all mean? Go figure.
