#mist1015

Mistigram: from our 21st anniversary artpack in MIST1015 came something unprecedented with "Under the Sea" - not just #ANSIart but perhaps the 21st century's first #ANSImation, consisting of a #mermaid swimming past blocky sea life drawn by Whazzit, parallax scrolling in Kirkman's BBS door game engine.

Mistigram: a process time-lapse of the painting of "Everyday Beauty" by Andrea Schmidt, released three years ago in the MIST1015 21st anniversary artpack collection.

Mistigram: I gather that he wasn't quite around the first time in the '90s, but when we first crossed paths with @4x3freddy circa 2015 he professed interest in "keygen music" and the visual aesthetic of the digital underground - as fascinatingly demonstrated by his animated #ASCIIart visuals for this track, Ofbeat/Ofniet by his OJAJOH project, from the 2010 album "Format MC". We included links to this video clip in our 21st anniversary MIST1015 artpack collection (so as to keep the 200 meg filesize down), but probably it was not seen by many at that time, so in the spirit of a later anniversary we've recently been celebrating, here it is again!

Today on Mistigram, Jenn Ashton's painting "heart goes here" ♥ released in MIST1015. There's no direct allegory to events unfolding south of the border except to ponder "where is the love?" (Airport protestors have heart in spades ♠, but the higher up you go the more it seems to be absent.) http://ift.tt/2jKaVih

Today on Mistigram, this desert photo by @dubaiwalla from MIST1015. There are few obstacles that a gentleman, properly attired and in full possession of his decorum, cannot manage to overcome. And happily, as a country that does business with the President of the United States, a wanderer in these trackless sands of the United Arab Emirates might be allowed entry privileges to the USA. Everyone else, however - pilgrim, tourist or refugee - is going to find themselves wandering the inhospitable desert wastes for quite some time. http://ift.tt/2jAB4QE

Today on Mistigram, this detailed skull/flower drawing by Phatal from MIST1015. Nice sunflower 🌻! http://ift.tt/2jlTL8d

Today on Mistigram - sailors take warning! ⛵ ⚠ This photo by Sara Ciantar from MIST1015 does a good impression of pixelart by photographing a spectacular sunrise through the screen door of a cabin. http://ift.tt/2jjiD0j

Mistigram part 3 on this special occasion - Freelance Pete might observe that to many, we have jumped into a fascist fire 🔥 but only out of a neoliberal frying pan 🍳. (And you would likely correctly surmise that he is a straight white man who may feel he hasn't much to lose with this changing of the guards. But cut him some slack, I'm putting words in his mouth here.) This American Gothic of his could well describe past, present or future. (it did, however, run in MIST1015) http://ift.tt/2jHQO4N
