Fashionably late as usual, I posthumously bring you news of my contribution to Digital Arts Online‘s interactive design column. Kind of. Earlier this year, I was delighted to participate in a short interview regarding the current/most recent iteration of the International Teletext Art Festival and my own working practices. And you can read it here, […]
Illarterate @ International Teletext Art Festival 2013: Walkthrough of my entries
It was with great delight I learned the International Teletext Art Prize would be returning for another year of 8-bit scanline-tinged nostalgia. That’s not to say I wasn’t slightly apprehensive, as this home-brewed festival had grown appreciably in popularity from its relatively humble beginnings of ITAF12. With recognition brings pressure, a niggling “you have two […]
International Teletext Art Festival 2013 launches!
Today sees the launch of the International Teletext Art Festival 2013, a Europe-wide event celebrating that forgotten medium of artistic expression, Videotext. Or, if you live in the UK, that method of watching the cricket in text format while making your lunchtime beans on toast. Don’t tell me you’ve never done it! Naturally, your (least) […]
Teletext graphics now on At the Races Text
A selection of my teletext graphics can currently be viewed on page 106 of the At The Races teletext service. Here’s a couple of pieces to whet your appetite, but you’ll have to go and look for yourself to see what other stuff I’ve been working on. 😉 Oh no, I can’t get analogue teletext […]

Although the huge collection of retro television sets is something of a […]
Flaming Great: The day the Olympic Torch came to Hindley
Man A: Right, I’m off then. Man B: You going to find a better spot? Man A: Yes… in a pub. See ya later! Conversations similar to the exchange briefly described above were no doubt commonplace in Hindley town centre less than an hour prior to the grand arrival of the Olympic flame. Consensus amongst […]
My submissions for International Teletext Art Festival 2012: Walkthrough
I first heard about International Teletext Art Festival 2012 through the Teletext Mailing List a couple of months back, but the desire to have works published via public teletext first arose some five years ago, during the research stages of my Pixel is Power dissertation. I considered contacting British teletext broadcasters to discuss the possibility […]
Replay Expo 2011, Blackpool: An illuminating experience [Vlog]
Harry Yack takes a trip to the home of donkeys, expensive lighting and billions of bed and breakfasts. No time for sausage ‘n’ chips or walks along the promenade, however, as the 2011 Replay retro video game type thingy was also taking place just down the road at Norbreck Castle. Footage here was taken on […]
