Talk: GIF->ASCII: Is it Art?
Art is a word that most people disagree on the definition of. It's
pointless to argue "no, no the word art means THIS" because there simply
is no consensus.
Regarding the merits of GIF -> ASCII conversions... As I understand it,
this newsgroup is simply a place for pretty-to-look-at things to be posted.
Just like with pictures in any other medium, a variety of techniques are
used to produce the images. If I enjoy looking at it, I don't care which
one of them was used.
