Some teletext/videotex standards offer more than alphanumerical characters. Like the Canadian Telidon, which used vector graphics. These are Telidon images, made by Jacques Palumbo in 1986.
Meanwhile in Japan, videotex was more complex: it was alphaphotographic. That is a combination of text and hi-res photos. It supposedly worked like a fax machine for the TV. See Captain.
“Nancy Reagan Takes the Subway”, an interactive comic strip by Maria Manhattan produced at the Alternate Media Center at NYU in 1982 with the Norpak Telidon terminal.
