Mistigram: though we mostly focus on releasing science fiction-themed art in May, due to the interests of its mastermind, @kirkman14, who provided most of its showpieces, there was quite a bit of it in the IGNITE01 collection of multimedia #AtariST #IGS (#InstantGraphicsAndSound) works we shared last year on New Year’s Eve. Because scientific progress goes “boink”, this one is a tribute to Bill Watterson’s beloved #CalvinAndHobbes comic strip.

Mistigram: If you weren’t around while its brand was a big league going concern, it is perhaps impossible to fully appreciate the stranglehold that the appearance of George Opperman’s #Fuji logo for #Atari could establish on a young mind, living on rent-free for decades as a retrofuturistic visual shibboleth of sorts. It flies a colour-cycling flag here for the #AtariST home computer platform whose BBSes the #IGS (or #InstantGraphicsAndSound) multimedia format was designed for use on. IGS archaeologist @Kirkman drew this animated image for inclusion in the new IGNITE01 artpack collection of modern IGS screens that he spearheaded.

Mistigram: for some time our oldschool colleague @kirkman of BreakIntoChat.com has been investigating and reviving the long-defunct #IGS (Instant Graphics and Sound) multimedia vector art format intended in the early ’90s for use on #AtariST BBSes. This research culminated in our joint release of the IGNITE01 artpack collection on the final day of 2024 (our second artpack release of that day!), including several animated screens with sound effects that he made and numerous static illustrations, many of them drawn by regulars of the Mistigris computer art collective. You can enjoy seeing the static screens (and downloading the animated ones for local display) via the @16colors web gallery, or if you prefer you can watch them all display as they would have unfolded on period BBSes on YouTube via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS_riObN32o . Kirkman’s complete explorations into the history of the IGS file format can be enjoyed at https://breakintochat.com/blog/category/instant-graphics-and-sound/?order=asc
