No todo lo que concierne al código ASCII tiene por qué estar ligado a la
programación, conforme pasó el tiempo desde la salida del estándar ASCII
algunos programadores utilizaron éste código de caracteres para hacer
creaciones menos ligadas a la programación.

El arte ASCII es el medio de expresión artística por el cual se componen
imágenes usando los caracteres del citado código, de esa forma se obtiene por
pantalla composiciones verdaderamente sorprendentes gracias a la similitud de
la densidad y oscuridad del color con los caracteres.
El arte ASCII se empezó a dar allá por 1981 a modo de experimentos usando
tarjetas perforadas de hasta 96 columnas, posteriormente se fueron utilizando
compiladores de lenguajes de programación e impresoras.
Existen ciertas similitudes entre el arte ASCII y la definición de píxel en
un videojuego o en una interfaz gráfica, en ambos casos se toma tanto al
carácter ASCII como al píxel como un elemento perteneciente a una composición
mayor, consiguiendo un efecto muy parecido al de la técnica del puntillismo en
pintura. Cuanta más grande sea la distancia del observador con respecto al
dibujo, mayor definición poseerá ésta, el efecto contrario sucede conforme nos
vamos acercando (todos hemos visto los píxeles enormes de una imagen a medida
que hacemos zoom sobre ella).
