MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-6502

Mistigram: @blippypixel pays tribute here to the #MOSTechnology6502 processor used in the #BBCMicro home computer in this high resolution graphics animation loop.  (Many other historically critical machines by Atari, Apple, Nintendo and Commodore, relied on the 6502 -- which over nearly a half-century has been manufactured in quantities approaching six billion.)

This composition of course also incorporates an homage to the #Monolith in Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/POLYDUCKS-PICOCAD-FOURBYTEBURGER

 Mistigram: the #FourByteBurger, featuring an all-beef patty, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, onions and a floppy diskette on a sesame seed bun, was a formative piece of #Amiga iconography, first drawn as pixelart by #JackHaeger ... and then, many years later, reproduced as a simple 3D model in #picoCAD by the inimitable @Polyducks. This piece was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/ATONALOSPREY-HOBBIES

 

Mistigram: artists and vintage computing enthusiasts are often posed with subsets of this problem, but when you compound both interests the conundrum can be amplified in magnitude. This #teletext open question was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/AXL-WHAT'S_WRONG_WITH_HIM

 

Mistigram: one of these characters is not like the others.  This #PLAYSCII piece of #JPETSCII, titled "What's wrong with him?", was made by @axltm and included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.

MIST1121/HORSENBURGER-SONGS_FOR_ALAN_TURING

Mistigram: following up on Thursday's post of a portrait of tragic foundational computing science titan #AlanTuring, here's another portrait of him drawn in double-density #teletext by @horsenburger as an album cover design for BINÄRPILOT's 2021 album "Songs for Alan Turing", also included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

ADVENT23/source

Mistigram: just to remind, we just dropped ADVENT23, an #MSDOS program (here's a taste of its source code!) by Andy "Moebius" Herbert acting as an #ANSIart #AdventCalendar: every day (up to Dec 25) it unlocks a new 25-line ANSI screen for your viewing pleasure, viewable through a web browser via https://16colo.rs/pack/advent23/ADVENT.EXE or http://andyh.org/advent23/

ADVENT23/FILE_ID.DIZ

Mistigram: Season's greetings, nerds!  Our latest vintage computer art project goes live today -- an #MSDOS #AdventCalendar, showing festive users of old machines a new #ANSIart screen every day up to Christmas Day!  If your 486 hasn't POSTed since Y2K, you can check in daily through a browser-embedded DOSbox window via https://16colo.rs/pack/advent23/ADVENT.EXE
