Though not strictly an example of ASCII art, "ByteStew" is the title of
an instance of a related class of program-generated animations. The
original twelve-year-old program written in GW-BASIC randomly and
endlessly writes individual bytes with different colored backgrounds
directly to the DOS screen buffer of a PC fast enough that it gives the
impression that the screen is 'boiling' with bytes-- hence, the
allusion to a bubbling 'byte stew.'

screenery for the PC, link to:
