Experimental graphics lab

Give images
another life.

A small collection of image tools. Convert, distort, and reassemble images using PETSCII, pixels, and obsolete computer aesthetics.

02 / The idea

Digital afterlife.

Every image has another life waiting to be unlocked.

An open space for experimentation. ANKOU is an open-source creative laboratory for artists who want to explore new ways of making art through image manipulation, code, pixels, character sets, and forgotten digital aesthetics. A playground for experimentation, where images are transformed, distorted, deconstructed, and given a new life. A place to explore the boundaries between art, technology, and digital archaeology. Built in the open. Created for artists. As the project evolves, new experimental tools and applications will be developed. Future apps will be exclusively accessible to holders of the ANKOU collection, giving them access to an expanding creative ecosystem built around digital art and experimentation.
