I think the minimalism is also there to a large extent in the limitations
of the medium. It's not possible to put in lots of detail without putting
a lot of thought into how to arrange the composition - small detail simply
doesn't work when you get much below the size of a character of ascii.
Rather like haiku, at least in small sig size items, it's so restricted that
it seems we might be 'filling up' the space of possible ideas tried.
