digital art group. Founded in 1990, the group originally specialized inANSI art work for BBSes. More recently, they have extended their reach into other graphical media andcomputer software development.History
ACiD Productions was founded in 1990 as ANSI Creators in Demand by five members:
RaD Man , Shadow Demon, Grimm, The Beholder, and Phantom. Their work originally concentrated in ANSI andASCII art , but the group later branched out into other artistic media such as music tracking, demo coding, and multimedia software development (e.g. image viewers).In the mid-1990s, ACiD created subsidiary groups responsible for these broader areas. For example, Remorse is the official ACiD sub-label responsible for ASCII art and other text-based graphics. Similarly,
pHluid is responsible for module tracking and music production.Today, ACiD focuses largely on the preservation of
digital art history,talk radio news, and sale of theirDVD -based artscene archives.Works
ACiD has produced a variety of well-received works and services. An incomplete list follows:
