ASCII Bash Art is a collection of micro-programs of one line of code, written in Bash, the shell language of UNIX-like computer operating systems. This project is part of a research activity of the artist started in 1996 to design micro codes capable to produce interesting behaviour in the field of visual art, conceptual art, and sound art. The choice of use Bash as language to produce these experiments is driven by a specific need to research art in computer aspects that are very far from the concept of art itself. The Bash language has been invented by Brian J. Fox in 1989, to use a computer providing specific instructions, without the usage of a graphic interface. The artwork produced using this computer language are based on ASCII characters, printed using infinite loops.
