ASCII art:

The perfect world of imperfection. Perhaps more so because this is a dying art-form.

This art-form brings the best of technology and the free spirit of human imagination together and creates one of a kind pieces of beauty.

The beauty of ASCII art lies in its imperfection, especially in the confluence of ASCII characters churning out unimaginable pieces of art. It can only be fair to credit the imagination of the artist to see beyond the limitations of digital characters and creating pieces of art that not only look real but also beautiful.

Though today, the only place that this art is seen is in the world of warez and pirated download nfo's (Information sheets, much like the ubiquitous ReadMe.txt files).
