Mistigram: the #StarTrek fans will not give it a rest, raising heck with fan campaigns and petitions since the original series’ threatened cancellation in the late ’60s. Darkman Almighty knows how it is, flexing his fealty in this #ANSIart demand for the #StarTrekLegacy spin-off of the story recently told in Picard. This screen was included in last month’s science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this @blippypixel #BBCMicro graphics screen, “Meteyeverse”, strikes me as the Ludovico technique from A Clockwork Orange by way of Neuralink trials today. It was included in last month’s science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: @Dosdocone prides himself on his literary inspirations, but sometimes these inspirations reach us second-hand via cinematic adaptations. This #ANSIart screen celebrates Arthur C. Clarke’s #2001ASpaceOdyssey of 1968, filmed by #StanleyKubrick that same year. This portrait of #DaveBowman was included in last month’s science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: A sacred pink humanoid with a binary code in place of a heart reassuringly radiates a healing aura into a blinding white emptiness it levitates in the centre of.  This #ANSIart screen was drawn by @Mavenmob and included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: at wit’s end trying to think of iconic science fiction franchises whose distinctive typography hadn’t yet been plundered for previous years’ SF-themed artpacks in May, Cthulu stumbled upon #HeavyMetal… then continued stumbling all the way through #ChrisAchilleos’ poster art of #Taarna for its 1981 movie, adapting it in #ANSIart as the MIST0524 artpack’s infofile header.

Mistigram: gotta make a move to a town that’s right for me… gotta keep it movin’, keep it groovin’ with some energy. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen of #Cybertown (that must be the most meta neighbourhood of Geocities) was drawn by @blippypixel and included in last month’s science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: LDA continued on a lowkey spree of ANSIfying popular internet memes by making an #ANSIart version of this still from 2010’s #Futurama S6E3, “Attack of the Killer App”, only in this version #PhilipJFry isn’t quite saying “#ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney!” This screen was included in the recent science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: From the recent science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection comes this #ANSIart screen from #StarTrek specialist Darkman Almighty of the USS Excelsior BBS, celebrating the seven-season run of the fourth live-action Trek series, finding its way home from the Delta Quadrant. Depicted is the ship, NCC-74656, that gave the series its name.

Mistigram: #LongLiveTheFighters! For the second year in a row, @DosDocOne has made Frank Herbert’s #Dune one of his literary selections for representation in our annual May science fiction artpack, likely informed by the success of its recent film adaptations in the cinemas. In this #ANSIart illustration we see a #Fremen warrior, clad in stillsuit and wielding a crysknife, defiant against sandworm bombardment from ornithopters, against a backdrop of Arvon, the second moon of Arrakis — also known as #MuadDib — looming in the background. This piece was included in last month’s MIST0524 collection.

Mistigram: a vignette of a do(o)med arcology, “Everything’s Fine In Here” is a specimen of #TypewriterArt from the desk of @lordnkon that raises a lot of questions seemingly answered by its title. (What’s up with the dome? What’s with the apparently smoldering rubble comprising roughly two thirds of your dome’s contents? Blink twice if you need help!)

Mistigram: a good portion of the #ANSIart screens contained in our recent science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection were drawn by @Mavenmob. This is one such piece, “Which side of the screen are you on?”, first seen being awarded 10th place in the ANSI art compo at last year’s @flashparty.ar demoparty.

Mistigram: In honour of the Stonewall riots of 1969, #Pride has traditionally been celebrated in the month of June. This #BBCMicro hirez screen by @blippypixel, titled “Time Traveler”, has no explicit Pride content, but I like to take #rainbow iconography and run with it. (The depressing thing here is that we don’t know if the traveler is going forward or backward in time to find their rainbow destination.) This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

Mistigram: I don’t know if artpacks will continue being so primarily reliant on #ANSIart in the centuries to come (just wait until we launch the first spacecraft with an emoji in its name!), but in the meantime, here’s a survey of SF scenes and portraits drawn in that popular textmode medium, included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.
