MiSTiGRAM: horse, cow, goose… eventually the bizarre #teletext series of aeronautical farmyard animals would lead us to the #pig. Wrong “plane”, though! This screen was drawn by @carlos_teletextr and included in last year’s MiST0419 April Fool’s artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/B-8T5grHwbT/
Mistigram: my old friend Bus Ridin’ Fool is a wizard preparing custom emoji for use in a Slack context. This, perhaps the pinnacle of her craft, was a showboating recursive spelling out of the word “parrot” using a selection of animated rainbow parrot reactji. It was included in the MiST0417 April Fool’s artpack collection.
Mistigram: in memory of yesterday’s Covid-19 casualty, mathematician #JohnHortonConway, here’s an unreleased bit of promotional #GameOfLife output generated five years ago using the Software Toolworks’ 1985 “Golden Oldies” compilation (and then reversed). We weren’t sure precisely what space we hoped for Mistigris to occupy following its revival, but we knew we wanted it to straddle the worlds of games, computing and #textmode art. Thanks to Candide for the Philip Glass mash-up soundtrack.
Mistigram: Happy Easter from Mistigris and @jamietypes, whose delightful #typewriterart #lop we’ve been saving up for just such a lagomorphic occasion. https://instagr.am/p/B-4wf9JnMI8/
Mistigram: here’s another classic Mistigris Blender improvised art competition entry from around 1997, in which Dead Soul used #ASCIIart to explore the topics “vegan”, “Legoland” and “sacrifice”. We’re running two more Blenders in one week’s time, full details at https://ift.tt/2nsCoUj https://instagr.am/p/B-3aE9GnfA_/
Mistigram: this ~1997 #ANSIart illustration by Haquisaq from Blender #39, exploring the topics “midgets / wrestling / Canada”, would have fit right in for the latest Blocktronics artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/B-3X7Q0HuDA/
Mistigram: heads up, friends - next weekend we’re running two Blender improvised computer art competitions - as per the rules put forth at https://ift.tt/2nsCoUj - and according to this classic image by @frandroid from a first-run Blender compo circa 1997, it just might be the final one! https://instagr.am/p/B-3XYx1nayu/
