Back before there was the Internet, early caveman dialed into computer bulletin board systems or BBSes to get their online fix. Many of these boards distinguished themselves with ANSI art, an early form of electronic cave paintings. ANSI was an extension to the even earlier form of caveman communication known as ASCII used in MS-DOS based computers. It is with great pleasure that we happened upon the San Francisco hacker art gallery "20 goto 10″ where an ANSI art exhibition was in progress. Irina Slutsky talks to curator Kevin Olson who takes us on a tour of some of the amazing early work of two ANSI artists, lordjazz and somms.Originally posted: http://www.geekentertainment.t...

Don't tell me he's actually selling ansi art that he didn't create himself and didn't buy the rights for. That's f***ed up!! I'm only a little relieved because I know my ansis weren't good enough to make the cut for this exhibition, but if he is selling other artists' work without paying them, that's worse than anything rad man has ever done to the scene.

Good question. I believe the difference is that a geek has the brains, a nerd has the looks.
