I mean. Ceefax. And Count Binface.

Count Binface resurrects the mighty Ceefax. With one small hitch. It’s on the radio.

What else do you want?

// subtitles 888

Recreated the Ceefax homepage in Illustrator using Teletext typefaces and pixel precision.

This was how I first accessed subtitles—Page 888—launched in 1974, two years before I was born. But I didn’t start using them until age 4, after my deafness was diagnosed.

Sometimes I wonder: if I’d had captions sooner, would the wiring of my brain be different? Would the delay in auditory processing still be there?

This screen isn’t nostalgia.

It’s an interface.

It’s how I learned to see what I could not hear.

Nice work!

Mistigram: reading body language isn't an exact science, but is subject to vagaries of culture & biology, something @atonalosprey played with in this monochrome study of ambiguous eyes. This #teletext screen was included in the MIST0223 artpack released 3 years ago this month.

Mistigram: this #monochrome #teletext screen depicts a human #skull from such an angle that you can observe detail both on its side and its front -- including a host of well-defined teeth! It was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection.

Mistigram: does Slenderman take acupuncture treatments? Where do the Cenobites play into all this? The more answers you find, the more questions are opened. This #monochrome #teletext screen, "needle haystack", was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the spooky new MIST1025 artpack collection.

Mistigram: #Goomba / #Kuribo wants everyone to know that #Mar10 is overrated as a holiday. (Perhaps instead consider National Mushroom Day, on Oct 15?) This #teletext screen was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the MIST0919 artpack collection released seven years ago!
