Advice on ascii animation 4 mobiles for UK art project

Hi Ascii-ites I am wondering if any ascii lovers reading might be able to offer me some advice on an artist's ascii animation project I'm managing and having difficulty finding a technical solution for? My name is Maria Percvial and I work for FACT, Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, Liverpool, and I the project I'm working on is called STREAM & SHOUT, a rolling programme of net radio and sms artist led web based projects for young people in Liverpool. One of our lead sms artists, Gaylie Runciman, has proposed a really interesting ascii animation based project, which we're having terrible problems finding a technical solution for. Its a DIY ascii animation for mobiles project. The artist would like to teach kids how to create their own sms ascii animations for mobile phones which doesn't represent too much of a problem but theGaylie's aims don't stop there. Gaylie would like the kids to be able to upload their finished ascii animations to a dedicated web gallery where kids will be able to credit their work and trade it, discuss development techniques and allow ultra lo cost downloads. We may be able to solve free downloads but not the conversion codes from web to mobile and mobile to web. We really need a scroley editor or a web application that will approximate that, the whole point being that we create a democratic DIY ascii animation for mobile on-line tool. We don't have the budget to get a scroley editor developed for us and none of the corporates that already have them will release them for non revenue generating uses. As an alternative I've decided to look into the wonderful world of ascii artists, coders and enthusiasts for a possible solution. I am wondering if anyone could advise. Anybody out there with experience in the ascii web to mobile field or anybody know someonw who has? Anyone come across any free to download editors or able to suggest a possible research direction? Any light you might be able to shed would be much appreciated. If we can find a fellow artist or entusiast for Gaylie to work with and by pass involving corporations all the better. Thanks all for your attention Best wishes Maria Percival per...@fact.co.uk FACT, the Foundation for Art & Creative Technology 88 Wood Street Liverpool, L1 4DQ http://www.fact.co.uk
