MIST0526/MM-DIGITALLOTUS

 Mistigram: in different ancient cultures the #lotus signifies different things -- in India, perfection and enlightenment; in Greece, hedonism and addiction. You may need to decide for yourself which one @mavenmob was alluding to (if not both!) in this #ANSIart illustration of the flower melting away into the Matrix. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/MIST0526.MEM

 Mistigram: Cthulu dutifully traced the monochrome poster art to Fritz Lang's 1927 German expressionist film #Metropolis as #blockASCII, then hesitated, contemplating its opening logo -- starts with an M... ends with an S... also contains a T, an I, an R... well heck, he thought, there's nearly already everything here needed to make a Mistigris logo out of, and then I could use it as an infofile header! Ultimately it did appear in exactly that way in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/NI-VILAR

 Mistigram: RIP to English actor #MichaelKeating, who famously played #VilaRestal in #Blakes7. This memorial #ANSIart tribute was drawn by Nitron and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/TGHRV26B

 Mistigram: drawn in just under four hours for the Oldskool Graphics Compo at the Revision 2026 demoparty (where it placed 11th), this #pixelart piece, "Snake Dance", was made by The Green Herring and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/ZII-ZAAC

 Mistigram: a technocratic society in which elite underground hackers earn credits for drawing radical text art illustrations may feel distinctly retrofuturistic, but nonetheless ZII (Zeus II) has established his AAC (#ANSIArt Corporation) from which you can commission screens and scrollers at competitive rates. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526 FILE_ID.DIZ

 Mistigram: since 2018, we have released a science fiction-themed artpack every year in the month of May.  We weren't going to make it this year, so we simply broke the laws of space and time in order to allow us sufficient opportunity to complete the collection.  You can download the new SF-themed MIST0526 artpack collection from mistigris.org or enjoy browsing it via the @sixteen_colors web gallery at  https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0526/

MIST0620/STARSTEW-RIVEN-&-RADIANT-2

 Mistigram: here we have "Riven & Radiant 2", a page from one of @starstew's seemingly bottomless sketchbooks, filled with doodles inspired by galaxy brain puns and, in this case, intriguing manually-executed algorithmic patterns. It was included in the MIST0620 artpack collection released six years ago this month.
