About Sixteen Colors:

Sixteen Colors is an online archive for ANSI and ASCII artpacks. The
artform was originally intended for display on computer textmode
consoles. It gained popularity in the early nineties with the rise of
dial-up Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).


At one point artists started to group together and release their work
in collections released monthly, these collection are called
artpacks. Rivalry resulted in fierce competition between these
artgroups which only boosted activity. ACiD and iCE are examples of
early prominent groups.


The rise of the Internet in the late nineties started the decline of
BBS's and thus also the need and interest for ANSI/ASCII art. And
although the need has almost vanished, still today artists are
producing artpacks in collectives. Sixteen Colors aims to collect
these artpacks as an archive in the public interest.


Want to know more? A good starting point is THE ART OF WAREZ is a
short-film about the origins and history of the ANSI art scene.
