	ANSI art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ANSI art is a computer artform that was widely used at one time on BBSes.
		It is similar to ASCII art, but constructed from a larger set of 256 letters, numbers, and symbols — all codes found in IBM code page 437, often referred to as extended ASCII and used in MS-DOS environments.
		ANSI art is considerably more flexible than ASCII art, because the particular character set it uses contains symbols intended for drawing, such as a wide variety of box-drawing characters and block characters that dither the foreground and background color.

	The Historical Ansi Graphics Gallery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ansi Art - for those initiated will need little or no explanation, an obscure art form prevalent during the heyday of online Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's).
		It was created using the ibm extended character sets and ansi escape codes to add color, blinking effects and sometimes animation.
		Ansi Graphics Artists made due with system colors, in the day 16 or less, and individual blocks in the image roughly 20x50 pixels (about the size of a capital letter in this introduction).

		Primative mediums such as ASCII and ANSI text, and RIPscrip are still popular, but have moved far away from the mainstream and into this little niche we call the digital "ArtScene".
		Art created using the IBM or Amiga extended character sets can only be viewed normally on their respective platform.
		ASCII art was one of the first ways to display any kind of graphics on a PC, and it will certainly be around for a long time to come.

	History and Outline - Historical Ansi Graphics Gallery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Perhaps the most functional use of Ansi Art was the decoration and enhancement of menus on these Bulletin Board Systems for such things as Logons/Logoffs, navigation of local and networked message bases, and the file sections.
		Ansi, as well as other Art, is still being made today by many fine artists in groups like ACiD and DARK.
		These groups were around during the heyday also and some of their work from that period is included here but, the major focus of these Galleries are the individual efforts from a time when Ansi Graphics was the universal electronic folk art.

	ASCII Art and ANSI Art - Text Art by Roy/SAC - Superior Art Creations
		SAC, standing for Superior Art Creations, is a "Scene" Art Group who's members created ASCII art, ANSI art commonly known as Text Art and VGA Pixel Art for other Groups, BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) and FTP Sites.
		I wrote an article about the three Styles of the Underground Text Art Scene which explains things in much more detail and is also supported by real ASCII Examples to illustrate the Styles and their differences.
		It was unable to load ansis which meant, that you had to get the colors right the first time or you had to load the ANSI as ASCII (without colors) and start colorizing from scratch...

		ANSI stands for 'American National Standards Institute' and is also the abbreviation used for describing text code that implements colors with characters found through the 'alt + numeric pad' code shortcuts.
		Ansi pictures can be viewed with an appropriate viewer or by launching the image as a batch file (.bat).
		Finally, in order to explain the Ansi style a bit better, it could be summed up like this: An Ansi (or an Ascii - basically a fl and white image using mostly keyboard characters such as $ signs and so on) is an image which has a defined width, but no specific height.

		When embedding your art into HTML pages, always remember the tags, which tell the browser that the text is already formatted and should be displayed in a fixed-width font.

		The supposed death of ASCII art may also be related to the increasing prevalence of variable-width fonts that make ASCII art nearly impossible.
		The simplest forms of ASCII art are combinations of two or three characters for expressing emotion in text.
		Static ASCII art pictures are loaded and displayed one after another, creating the animation, very similar to how movie projectors unreel film reel and project the individual pictures on the big screen at movie theatres.

	RIP graphics
		Several such conferences were devoted to ANSI art, and they attracted a large audience of artists and geeks, dedicated to maximizing the visual appeal of a text-based system.

		I have a fairly large collection of RIP and ANSI images; unfortunately, it would be hard, if not impossible to contact the artists and get permission to display their work.

		ASCII art, an artistic medium relying primarily on computers for presentation, consists of pictures pieced together from characters (preferably from the 95 printable characters defined by ASCII).
		In some cases, the entire source code of a program is a piece of ASCII art - for instance, an entry to one of the earlier Obfuscated C contests is a program that adds numbers, but visually looks like a binary adder drawn in logic ports.
		The largest source of recent "JIS art" is the 2ch BBS, and the characters and stories in these "JIS Arts" are gaining popularity and recognition with the emergence of this BBS.

		ANSI simply stands for "American National Standards Institute", a non-profit body that was founded in 1918, which was meant to be a place where American industries could agree on standards which would then be used by all companies without variation.
		There is a graphics standard in DOS on IBM Computers called "ANSI" (which is actually ANSI standard X3.64-1979 or ISO standard DP-6429 and ECMA-35) which was implemented in the early 1980's.
		It allowed a certain set of escape sequences to be included in files that would produce color and cursor movement on the screen, and was used to great benefit on DOS machines for some time, especially some BBS menus and welcome screens.

		Well, according to the Webopedia, this brief but important computer art movement owed its origin to the inclusion of a device driver called ANSI.SYS that was first bundled with MS-DOS 3.3.
		Images in "Remembrance Pack", a remarkable collection of 1989-91 ANSI work by the artist SHADOW DEMON available for download at: http://www.acid.org/ftp/aaa-8991.zip explore the outer limits of abstraction possible within ANSI - to the point that some observers need to spend many minutes studying these images before being able to parse through any possible meaning.
		This artifact - I term it "ANSI image blanking", is caused by the fact that viewing these images locally is a very different experience than viewing them when using a slow 2,400 BPS modem - the delivery platform for which they were designed.

		I thought it would be very scene-like to have the certificates themselves be nice works of ANSI/ASCII art, with a blank space where we overprint the name of the group and the name of the production.
		It has to work the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place certificate in a compo as well as work as a piece of ANSI art.
		We would print the art on a regular 8.5x11 sheet of paper (color is OK if you want to do full-blown ANSI) and then we would use this as the paper on which we would print the name of the winning group and production at the time of the party.
