MIST1121/UGLIFRUIT-FAWKES

 Mistigram: Remember remember... this #teletext portrait of a man in a #GuyFawkes mask (almost assuredly derived from #DavidLloyd's work in #VForVendetta) was drawn by @uglifruit and included in the MIST1121 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

MIST1121/ILLARTERATE-AUTOMATIC

 

Mistigram: this blinking #teletext screen by @illarterate depicts a Microsoft #Windows95 desktop in the middle of having a trash fire meltdown. (It's not too late to give OS/2 a spin!) This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-IBM360

 Mistigram: @blippypixel has drawn this #BBCMicro animation of a #mainframe computer suite (and its 9-track vacuum column magnetic tape drives!) from the flexible #IBMSystem360 family of machines, sold for a bit over a decade starting in 1965.  This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/ATONALOSPREY-CONNECTED_BY_EARTH_(WITH_STARS)

 Mistigram: this prize-winning #teletext promo for @FreeGeekPDX, North America's community-level e-waste refurbisher, was drawn by @AtonalOsprey and included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/AXL-RESIST

 Mistigram: I'd say that this #PLAYSCII piece by @axltm, released a year ago in the MIST1121 artpack, was prophetic, but really when has resistance been bad advice in our lifetimes? Instead I'll say we post this to commemorate the recent death of #BASIC co-inventor #ThomasEKurtz.

MIST1121/NICK_LAKOWSKY-KING_KONG_BUNDY

 Mistigram: The oil paintings of Nick Lakowski played a big role in our revival over the past decade, playfully demonstrating that if the subject is a good fit, you can make incredible computer art without benefit of computers.  Case in point: this still from a 1988/89 advertisement for Vendex's #HeadStart computers, starring pro wrestler #KingKongBundy.  This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/TEKST_TV-WIN_XP

 Mistodon:@teksttv_dk has drawn a #teletext adaptation of Charles O'Rear's Sonoma vineyard photograph 'Bliss', famously used as the default wallpaper for #WindowsXP & likely the most viewed photograph in human history. This screen was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/POLYDUCKS-FLYING_TOASTER

 Mistigram: The inimitable @Polyducks here drew a fabulous #flyingtoaster, mascot of the After Dark screensaver dynasty, in #textmode art (most likely using a character set and colour palette of his own devising). It was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-CHOICE

 Mistigram: the smell of fresh grass, the feel of the warm sun on your face and the wind blowing through your hair... @blippypixel wonders if one can get away with trading it all away for its mere appearance in this #BBCMicro hirez screen, 'Choice', included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/ATONALOSPREY-MELON_CAT

 

Mistigram: this sour puss, rendered in #teletext by @atonalosprey, is a vintage meme dating back some 20 years! Supreme ruler of all cats, it disapproves of your thread on the GameFAQs forum. This screen was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/LITTLEBITSPACE-EDISON

 

Mistigram: this #PETSCII portrait of inventor and businessman #ThomasEdison was drawn by @littlebitspace for the textmode art compo at the 2022 Edison demoparty, winning 7th place (and, critically, beating out his own competing portrait of Edison's rival Nikola Tesla.) This piece was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121-UGLIFRUIT-TESLA

 Mistigram: here's another shocking view of the man whose electrifying discoveries powered the 20th century, #NikolaTesla, given an animated #teletext portrait here by @andyuglifruit. This piece was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/LITTLEBITSPACE-TESLA

 Mistigram: this #PETSCII portrait of electricity innovator #NikolaTesla was drawn by @littlebitspace for the #textmode art compo in the 2022 edition of the Edison #demoparty in Stockholm, Sweden, in which it placed tenth. It was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection on technological themes.

MIST1121/AXL-INSERT_DISK

 Mistigram: many wonders are possible on this 8-bit microcomputer, but before you can unlock their potential you first must insert the floppy diskette. This #PLAYSCII #JPETSCII screen by @axltm was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/UGLIFRUIT-TELETEXT_SIMON_3D

 Mistigram: If you prefer your repetitive memory fun with less symbolic baggage, here's another #teletext celebration of Milton-Bradley's #Simon game, invented by #RalphBaer and illustrated here by @andyuglifruit. This screen was also included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/NICK_LAKOWSKI-TEXAS_INSTRUMENTS

 Mistigram: Yee-haw, buckaroo! How many megabytes of RAM does this little unit pack, partner? This painting by @niklkovfska, "Texas Instruments", was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-REPEAT_AFTER_ME

 Mistigram: anyone of a certain vintage will instantly recognize Ralph Baer's bestselling 1978 electronic adaptation of the #Simon Says schoolyard game. This #teletext screen, titled "Repeat after me", was made by @Blippypixel and included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/GJ-APPLEII

 

Mistigram: this fun #textmode art illustration of the revolutionary #Apple2 home computer was drawn by @grymmjack and included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/ML-LAZY_GAME_REVIEWS-1984_BBS

MIST1121/NICK_LAKOWSKI-YOU_CAN_RUN_BUT

 

Mistigram: KnowYourMeme.com tells us that the #ChubbyBubblesGirl image macro has been with us since debuting on 4chan back in 2009 -- a veritable epoch in Internet time -- but though she has run from many a dire Photoshop scenario, I don't know if she's ever before fled from an unruly glob of paint. (That said, it was only a matter of time before she spoiled some painter's canvas! @niklkovfska simply had the honour of being among the first to capture her feverish little footprints running across his palette.) This painting was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection on themes of technology and internet culture.
