I just picked up the new book from Delaware (a very profound Japanese media collective). This book chronicles a large spread of their most recent work, and includes a CDRom with Animations and Videos. They are famous for their intricate, yet minimal ASCII style art.

You may already be farmiliar with Delaware, as I have previously posted about their electro minimal music here.

Their style is based on old school ANSI BBS text, in that all of their sounds, graphics and aesthetics are based upon the ASCII art design paradigm. Not only do they use ASCII art as their text, but they use a whole slew of monophonic, analog bleeps and beeps as their sound canvas. Its really something to both see and hear.
