ANSIArt dark silk album December 2, 2013 synyan In the vast sea of ​​​​the Internet, there is a small group of unique artists who have created the Web in unknown forms. The most brilliant works of art in the 1.0 era, they are the dark silk artists ANSI Art Speaking of the beginning of chaos, the 1996 era when the Internet was the first to exist, BBS under Telnet terminals became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There was no QQ as a chat tool at that time, and even ICQ was not very popular. It was entirely based on the chat room under Telnet. There was no computer art on the Internet at that time. At most, there were only some scrawled ANSI character paintings. What is ANSI? Character paintings are actually paintings made out of letters and punctuation on the keyboard, such as the signatures of my emails over the years.

Most of them are computer enthusiasts from Tsinghua University and Peking University, and people like me from Jiaotong University, Tianjin University, and Wuhan University. The young people gathered at Shuimu Tsinghua University and Zixia's AsciiArt version. I remember those happy days. In addition to painting exchanges, He was just laughing and joking, and using his paintings to create entry screens for major BBSs. Fast forward to February 2013. A top student with a master's degree from Nanjing University in my workplace loves diving Sayuri every day at noon. One day I quietly said to him Did you know that I was the one who imported the literary version of your diving site? He was shocked on the spot. After I went abroad in 2004, I slowly gave up this hobby due to the Internet. Recently, I suddenly received a picture album from the dark silk group. I was surprised and admired that lstar, the leader and elder of Dark Silk, could actually persist in this hobby for ten years. In three years, not only that, but it was also very impressive. Not only did it build a website (see ANSIArt.org article), but it also held a Many activities now actually fund the publication of albums, which is really touching. Opening the album, I saw a small painting I made in 2003. It made me sigh how time flies. More than ten years have passed by in a flash. Today I can no longer draw those smooth lines, let alone those complex color blocks that represent today’s trends. painted Below is a corner of the album. I hope to share with readers the beautiful world brought by dark silk.

If you are interested, please see Dark Silk Demon for details. People’s incredible animation works Dark Silk is still a niche. It was needed back then and is still needed now by those who have a lot of time, understand computers and have the skills. People with a talent for artistic creation decide that it can only be some college students. Another one is its complexity and can only be used in hundreds. The degree of restriction of word blocks far exceeds the limit acceptable to the traditional artists who use photoshop to create. Anyway, in the end I want to say that I'm very happy that we made history together.
