Finished today, this is a program that does the captions for Hackers (1995). Watch the full source as HTML, and get more ascii/code art from Lord Nikon here.

Programs that look good. Some of them are calligrams. From the Temple of Code By Nikon (aka Lord Nikon), 2013/14.
These graphics are actually text, which is actually code, which when executed shows an animated ASCII torus.
By Lord Nikon/Dekadence, 2014. More code calligrams here.
Hermannn2 by Immanuel Hermann, 2001. Source code for converting text into ASCII stereograms. The source code itself is a stereogram (cross your eyes to get a 3D-effect).
Hello World 1k by Martin Kleppe, 2014. A so-called quine – the code you see, is what runs the show.
Demonstrations of Most Complex ASCII Fluid by Yusuke Endoh 2012. The top one is a code calligram, where the code spells out Fluid and then turns itself fluid. Got an honorary mention in the Obfuscated C Code Competition.
A piece of code that looks like a Mandelbrot fractal, and actually renders a Mandelbrot fractal in hi-res. A modern form of calligram, perhaps.
