A Bomb
2023, textmode/ansi

Built from dense layers of ANSI colour, textmode symbols, and repeating vertical patterns, A Bomb reimagines traditional textmode art through a contemporary lens. The composition is symmetrical, aggressive, and relentless, transforming simple character blocks into an explosive form that feels both mechanical and alive. Bright reds, yellows, and magentas collide across the screen, creating the impression of a detonation built from data rather than matter. Inspired by the tension at the heart of the song People Are Good, the piece compresses beauty, violence, and contradiction into a single blast of digital noise, pushing the limits of what can be expressed through the raw language of textmode art.
