My 2022 VisualAIDS Postcards from the Edge art piece "Living our Best Lives" included this accompanying explanation: "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a picture made up of a thousand letters can sometimes express what mere words cannot. Here are six frames of a cellphone movie I made to commemorate a night of hot MSM passion converted programmatically into Ascii Art, a genre popular back before graphic terminals and digital photography were common."

Following the postcard image are the six panels broken out individually, to better reveal their alphanumeric composition.

For 2023, my entry will use a similarly archaic technology, the stereoscopic anaglyph for viewing with red/blue 3D glasses. Aside from fusing the image to create the illusion of depth, alternately shutting one eye after the other reveals what appear to be different images.
