The Stillness and The Shadow [2013] by Wacek
This week will be all in PETSCII, the colourful ASCII-version used by Commodore’s 8-bit computers. We’ve worked a lot with PETSCII the past two years ourselves, doing things like 2SLEEP1 (ambient), Oso (eerie) and live performances.
The images above are from old posts we’ve made, see more at http://text-mode.tumblr.com/tagged/petscii. They are:
– Amiga demo New-D by Otro and Goto80 (2010)
– Notemaker Demo II by Poison (2008)
– Amiga-demo 911 by Limbo (1997)
– Cursor #15 Hawaii, originally by Ken Morley (1979).
– 20 Years Is Nothing by Hack n Trade (2013).
– Video by Erik Nilsson & Joakim Alstorp, music by Frak (2010).
– Commodore 64 disk directories
– Yeep!Eep!Eep! (2010) by Daniel Temkin
The C64 was capable of automating the entire knitting process thanks to a system called CAPS (made by Empisal in Germany). The setup consisted of the C64 (of course!), an Empisal 550/560 knitting machine and the CAPS interface. The process of knitting your favorite jumper consisted of designing a series of patterns on the C64 which you could then save to disk and combine with other patterns to create a larger image. Source
