Happy 28th Birthday #Google! The date on this #teletext artwork (from 2016) actually represents when the company was first incorporated. Probably inspired by this Philip Linde #artwork: www.flickr.com/photos/lektr... #pixelart #videotext #internet #www #worldwideweb #oldinternet #retro #ceefax

Delighted to enter the #teletext #textmode -only category at Xenium Demoparty over the weekend. A huge thank you to the organisers. Naturally, teletext #chatline artwork lives on across Europe, funding a number of services in 2026. A distinct lack of nerdz depicted on there, though! #ceefax #bbs

Teletext textmode artwork, resembling ascii, of a chatline advertisement for 'Hot Nerd Chat'. A presumably hot woman is sitting at a keyboard (branded IBM) typing the abbreviations ASL, IKR and WTH and facing over the viewer's right shoulder. Text on the right, blocked out in mostly at symbols, reads 'Super Hot (Txt) Nerd Chat', with the text "Nerdz kept at boiler room temp. (24/7)" underneath. Finally, the text at the bottom right reads "type 80085-NERD".

Wild Inside, a documentary about New York's #Flaco the Owl, is now showing in American theatres. I hope it comes to the UK soon! Here's an unreleased #teletext artwork from 2024 depicting him roosting in a #CentralPark tree. Based on this photo: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaco_%... #ceefax #pixelart

Teletext pixel artwork depicting Flaco, a Eurasian Eagle Owl that escaped his enclosure in Central Park Zoo in February 2023. He lived wild in the park for a year, but collided with a building in Feb 2024. Here he is depicted in white and yellow, sitting in a red tree, resting during the daytime. He's fluffing up his feathers and looks like a marshmallow. Text at the bottom reads "RIP Flaco, 2010-2024. Fly Free!"

A 99 Croissant with Flake, joint 1st in the #teletext competition at @field-fx.party over the weekend! Oddly enough, both of those pieces relate to @countbinface.bsky.social... demozoo.org/parties/5538... #pixelart #ceefax #1bit #videotext #croissant #binface #teletexto #Flake #textmode

A croissant is depicted in teletext with an additional Flake chocolate log, inspired by two of Count Binface's pledges to cap the price of both 99 Flake ice creams and croissants. The artwork is split diagonally by the croissant with a 99p label in the bottom left and a Flake protruding into the top right of the frame. Text says "New low price capped forever by Captain Binhead," and additional labels pointing to the pastry say "Croissant-y," "Crusty," "Flaky" and "99-y." The header text says "illegal header, prepare to be vaporised."
