Brian Mackern’s use of ascii artwork in the NetArt Latino Database has inspired the display, layout, and presentation of the website we created. “While ASCII art is associated with lo-fi aesthetics among artists in the US and Europe, Mackern has argued that this has a different meaning elsewhere. Low-tech solutions are less of an aesthetic choice than a practical constraint for many artists” - Net Art Anthology. While we are not limited to characters and letters for our artwork, we felt that this medium best embodies the way net artists use digital means to tell visual stories that can be understood regardless of language.
