icontext
http://artcontext.net/icontext/
Icontext is a free space on the Web that presents visitors with an
open-ended interplay of words and pictures. What you do with your
keyboard and mouse determines what appears on the screen and what subsequent
visitors see and read. At its most basic level, Icontext is a hybrid of
telecommunication, drawing, and word processing software. It sets up a
fluid correspondence between keystrokes and blocks of color. For example, when
you type "dog," the word "dog" appears, and so does a series of three color
blocks. Icontext also works on other levels, allowing visitors to
collaborate with each other and to upload, archive, and reconfigure
"icontexts."
IN OTHER WORDS...it's a way to draw ASCII art!
