Design Details

Unique Properties: American Standard Code for Information Interchange - ASCII Digital Design Museum is a contemporary online museum on Facebook. Designs are created in real time, online, using simple text platforms with Special Characters and Simple Symbols, which in a diverse juxtaposition using keyboard by copy & past repetitive action created divergent graphic patterns in diverse text fields on digital platforms. It's a novel eco-friendly tool to generate designs & fine art in real-time on www to stream online.
Inspiration: While working on an M.A.degree in Multimedia at California State University, I was inspired by Morse Code as my tool to create art & designs for visual communication on social media- Facebook. Moreover, as an eco-artist I was in search for eco-friendly tool to produce art & graphics that allowed me to save paper, ink, paint, monthly studio rent, storage space, without consuming expensive art supplies and adding to overall environmental pollution. ASCII is my tool creating instant designs on www.
Research: Using ASCII only to create art and design as an effective 'language' for visual communication which can be streamed online in real-time.
Challenge: The research challenge was how to create designs utilising Facebook for visual communication and graphics. The goal was to eliminating paper, ink, paint, monthly studio rent, storage space for the artwork created without consuming expensive art supplies and adding to overall environmental pollution. To create a digital Museum, which is open for free 24hours & 365days to enter and view from anywhere on web.
Realization and Technology: ASCII Digital Design Museum After 5 years of research work well creating daily designs online, my next challenge was to document the digital designs created on the Facebook page into design books, opening an online ASCII museum, and creating a Computer Arts & Design group where I could share and interact with other artists and designers. https://www.facebook.com/Museum https://www.facebook.com/groups/computerart https://www.facebook.com/978-1492270270-164049163748968
Operation and Interaction: ASCII is a perfect tool for the 21st century to design valid, geometrical, eco-friendly, instant, fast, fun and outstanding designs, which can be easily shared on digital walls of any social media. The designs can be also easily modified as an interactive design by other users.
