Vuk Ćosić
Biography
Vuk Ćosić is a contemporary artist and pioneer of the net.art movement in the 1990s. He is active in the fields of literature, politics, media archaeology and network arts. Ćosić seeks to sidestep the traditional methods of creating art by utilising the digital sphere; however, he emphasises that the most high-tech technologies don’t need to be applied. This artistic approach drove many of his projects, including the ASCII Art Ensemble, which features various moving images and videos in the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) formed by numbered coding patterns. One of Ćosić’s more recent works is Deep ASCII, an NFT conversion of his 1998 work of the same title, which depicts a scene from the pornographic film Deep Throat rendered in ASCII.
