Occasional Mistigris contributor Lord Nikon (née Robert Doerfler) is showing his extraordinary typewriter art, such as you might have seen in our MIST1116 artpack (but you can see attached, here! 8), in the backroom of an exhibit about typewriters at the Esche Museum of industrial mechanisms in Germany through October. An article was recently written on the subject and we took the liberty of translating it into English (and straightening out some points on which the interviewer was unclear 8) for your enjoyment and edification…

A young man is painting with the typewriter EXHIBITION: A Museum in Limbach-Oberfrohna shows unusual pictures The Esche-Museum in Limbach-Oberfrohna has recently been presenting an exhibition on the history of the traditional Saxon “Erika” typewriter. Don’t forget to visit the back of the showroom as there is also something special and unusual to see there: the “Typewriter Art” of Robert Doerfler. The young Chemnitz man produces drawings with mechanical typewriters. You can see some of his unique works, made using alphanumeric symbols and punctuation marks. “This is how we are bringing the Erika brand into the present day,” explained Gabriele Pabstmann, the museum director. Doerfler is happy about the opportunity: “I’ve been working intensively on art since school days”; typewriter art “has fascinated me for years, and I’ve really brought my focus to this strange medium starting around 2014.” He emphasizes the challenge of not being able to get rid of what is there once the mark is made on the page. In general, he is of the opinion that buildings and architecture can be most easily represented in this art style. Doerfler began his typewriter art career with a view of the town of Dresden. While you may not have previously seen art made using this technique, people have been drawing with typewriters here and abroad ever since the machine’s heyday in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The left roller is moved and tapped with the right hand, and the “%” character is especially used a lot. The Chemnitz artist Doerfler was recommended to the exhibition through the main lender Reinhold Schubert, to whom most of the “Erikas” belonged. abu Robert Doerfler shows his “Typewriting Art” in the museum.

Today on Mistigram, this Orwellian bit of #ansiart by Maze has been prompting debate lately… it’s upper portion appears bespoke but as area beneath (concealed here by Instagram imposing its cruel notions about ideal aspect ratios) is a portrait of Vladimir Putin bearing the unmistakable fingerprints of tool-assisted ANSI art conversion. We ran it anyway, figuring that we would not find many in our audience (for whom old school ANSI is merely an aesthetic) who had strong feelings about precisely how the sausage was made - in any event, in this introductory portion of the piece there’s still a lot to enjoy.

Today on Mistigram… a second approach at the same subject today, a @horsenburger #teletext portrait of #jeremycorbyn for today’s UK election. (I got fancy with Instagram’s slideshow capability and the previous entry - after I accidentally sent it to post from the account of a local accordion festival, which no doubt confused a number of people! - failed to trigger our IFTTT reposts across social media. Instagram, you enjoy primacy due to factors of convenience, but today’s piece (unreleased in any artpack thus far, it’s at peak freshness and will never be more timely!) deserves to be shared with the widest audience we can reach. http://ift.tt/2rQDCwz
