Mistigram: for kicks in the networked Mistigris Moebius #ANSIart server (completelynonintegrable.ca/mistifunk), LDA, Zeus II and @littlebitspace played around with experiments into making #ReturnOfTheJedi’s villainous #JabbaTheHutt a little whimsical, a little… dare we say… cute? Not as easy as it sounds with a giant spacefaring mafioso slug. But the results were pretty fun! These wild l'il guys were included in the science fiction-themed MIST0521 artpack collection released one year ago this month. https://instagr.am/p/CeCig6fuoZy/
Mistigram: this #teletext scene of the #MilleniumFalcon parked in the #DeathStar’s #DockingBay327, from 1977’s #StarWars #ANewHope ,was drawn by @horsenburger. This screen was included in this month’s science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CeCgoBpOt-t/

Mistigram: so much negativity in the world today! @blippypixel has reenvisioned the central conflict of #StarWars, casting its ship-to-ship engagement in a different light in this animated #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, titled “Lovestar”. This piece was included in this month’s science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this #asciiart animation of a simple starfarer voyaging through the cosmos was made by @ThePixelDud and included in this month’s science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection.
Mistigram: @blippypixel has made this incredible #BBCMicro hirez animation representing a nuclear reactor (put on your lead face-shield and just look at those particles accelerate!) It was included in this month’s science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection.
Mistigram: because adding the soundtrack to this #BBCMicro hirez image of an alien landscape added nearly 29 megabytes to its 2 kilobyte size, we included the silent version of @Blippypixel’s “Temple of Uno” in this month’s science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection and reserved the dank synth banger for social media. And here we are!
Mistigram: it is often said that science fiction is a lens through which one views the present from the perspective of the future. However, unlike time, social issues don’t only move in one direction, so this #asciiart image by @thatgrrl (Twitter) allows us to simultaneously view the recent past and a possible near future (and indeed, for many, a disappointing present), one seemingly informed by the formerly retrofuturistic sci-fi thinking of author Margaret Atwood in her 1985 novel The Handaid’s Tale. https://instagr.am/p/Cd1Krwhu34p/
Mistigram: as a cadre of computer artists, it is unsurprising that we mourn the passing of pioneering synth composer #Vangelis. @blippypixel has been very quick whipping up a tribute evoking a very #BladeRunner mood. “I programmed it as well .. it’s art ….music …programming …….my goodbye to Vangelis….done with the Music 5000 and Renoise.”
Mistigram: @horsenburger brings us back to 1983’s #ReturnOfTheJedi, with #LukeSkywalker stuck fighting a #Rancor beneath Jabba’s palace without benefit of blasters or lightsabers.

My mind, however that was worth saving.” This piece was included in the science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/CdtTmfCOuNe/

Here is one of his mad creations, the Daft Punk-ian “Mark 1” robot. This piece was included in this month’s science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/Cdq9g8pulBf/
Mistigram: you should be OK from this side of the event horizon, but just in case…you probably shouldn’t get too close to @blippypixel’s animated #teletext depiction of the whirling gravitational vortex of a #blackhole. This piece was included in the science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection.
Mistigram: this gnarly little #asciiart spaceboy wants you all to be excellent to one another!

Mistigram: speaking of time travel, here’s a trip back to @horsenburger’s “Space Misadventurer” spree from two years ago, discovering the creative potential in digital tablet drawing.
