Arambilet

Angel Luis Arambilet Alvarez [ARAMBILET] (born September 16, 1957 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a writer, screenplayer, painter, graphic artist, filmmaker and systems engineer.

In the Latin American and Caribbean region, he is considered the creator of the first short story ("Artes y Letras" [Arts & Literature] , 1978) and the first graphical poems (combination of text and graphics- "Arte y Cibernetica" [Art and Cybernetics] , 1978) using computerized linetext art or ASCII art, a combined technique that used punched cards, a COBOL compilation process (IBM model 370-115) and high speed printers.

Arambilet is included in the "XX Century History of Computer Graphics and Digital Art" sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH, presently being compiled by Anna Ursyn from the Department of Visual Arts of the University of Northern Colorado.

Dominican National Literary Award winner for his short stories ("The cayenne petals", 1994) and novel ("Neguri's secret", 2006).
