Wel, word art is of all ages, and some forms of writing such
as hieroglyps and chinese characters can be considered art
as well. I was more referring to the poemscii.
Apolinaire and the European expressionist poems of the
1910-1930's  where AFAIK the first who wrote
poetry that was also a picture, at least what 'roman'
characters is concerned. (wich also form the origins of ascii).
If you want I can try to put one of those poems
into ascii and post them here...
