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
