    How do you thank a total stranger from across the Atlantic Ocean who selects an obscure and irrelevant piece of art you did years ago and turns it into an Archaeological-Techno Adventure Park Ride? (allow me to wipe tears from my eyes) And he got everything RIGHT! - Thank you Stuart.

    Computer files are so endlessly and accurately reproducable its easy to forget how temporary they are. When I think of the hours I spent making pictures on old machines, in formats that are no longer supported, for software that no longer exists, saved on floppies that I will never be able to access. That work is pretty much gone forever. Granted a lot of it was probably shit though...

    I think the final image on the Amiga screen is very important. The fact it has phosphors and not pixels reminds us that computer artists of the time were often going for a final image meant to be displayed on those contemporary tubes. You can see how the dithering disappears into the phospors to create a smooth shading effect. Modern dithering on pixel perfect screens is an evocation of this era, but not a recreation of its actual appearances (not without CRT filters, at least).
    Digital art is very interesting to me, because we seem to have relied upon the concept of files and the internet as eternal, when the reality is that they are not. Data can fade into obscurity, file formats can become forgotten, lost, nonconvertible, or unreadable. We can find ourselves losing valuable pieces of historic computer art with no remaining copies, only facsimiles in the forms of photos, alternate resolution/rescaled images, etc.
    We may reach a time when well known digital artists of today have bodies of work that may not be viewable in the future because of loss of the files. At least if a physical media artist passes on, their work remains unless destroyed, and if they are particularly famous, the work remains in collections or museums. The thought has always troubled me.

    • @ArceusShaymin
      @ArceusShaymin 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It is interesting, isn't it? Physical and digital media both could potentially last forever - with physical media able to be preserved using techniques that can keep the original safe, and with digital media able to be perfectly copied, making the idea of an "original" functionally meaningless as long as there is one lossless copy of it out there. And yet both of these only exist in a theoretical fantasy land where humans were perfect stewards over their own and others' work. It's a bitter pill to swallow, then, to realize that even in THAT scenario, it only lasts as long as those perfect stewards. Once they are gone, time would inevitably welcome all works into its entropic embrace.
      I think it puts me in mind that preservation efforts should be conscious of authenticity, but only to a point. As Stuart has shown here, being perfect sometimes just isn't what is desired - what's desired is to evoke the same *feelings* the lost art in question has. And I think he did an amazingly admirable job.

    When you rotate a CRT, the earths magnetic field will affect the beam on a different axis that causes it to misalign with the color mask. Degaussing the monitor after moving it fixes it. If the monitor doesn’t have an internal degaussing coil, you can get an external tool to tune it up.

    Somewhat creepily, youtube recommended this to me on a day when I happened to randomly remember teaching myself enough BASIC as a kid to make my Dad's PC/AT play a very simplified monophonic arrangement of Für Elise through the PC speaker (it was the first proper piece I learned to play on the piano). As far as I can recall, the code was just a few parameter lines, a few long sequences of BEEP commands and a few loops. I'm sure it must have sounded just as cartoonish as one imagines, but as a 12-year-old it gave me an immense sense of satisfaction after debugging it enough to actually sound recognisable. The memory and the brief pang of regret it triggered at the realisation that I'll never see that little bit of completely pointless BASIC code again really made me appreciate everything about this video. An odd coincidence, and a worthwhile waste of time indeed. Thanks mate.

    It's amazing to me how many videos Ahoy makes that either seem niche or simple from the title, yet I end up immersed with the content and pleasant editing.

    Truly exceptional masterpiece. As a child of the 80's the level of nostalgia hits home.

    By far my one of my favorite Ahoy videos to date. Not solving any mysteries (though those are nice) but simply engaging in a passionate recreation of a long lost piece of artwork. Wonderful video

    The entire Reproduction section felt like an episode of Art Attack from years back. Thank you so much for making me feel like a kid again, Stu, even if for just a little while. :)

    Holy cow, the idea that someone produces a whole bunch of art - while the programm is so new it doesn't have a save option yet - is just incomprehensible to me. True pioneer work, it's definitelly worthwhile to restore Jack Haegers art! Awesome video!

      A simple pixel-dump has got to be the easiest thing in the world to code, so the fact that the software didn't have a screenshot feature at least, speaks volumes about the ineptitude of Commodore's in-house software division. AmigaOS, along with anything else that was good about the Amiga, was outsourced.

      Someone should have told that to my sister before she crashed our mid 90s PC by filling up the hard drive with her god awful bmp art from Paint.

    this video has really scratched an itch ive had about lost media for a while. I'm quite obsessive about finding original source images/videos for stuff that is available, but can only be found in low res, and im glad there are others who have that desire to experience things in their most original and pure state

    Wow. Talk about nostalgia overload. Back in college we used Amiga toasters to photo and put together our stop motion animations. The Amiga was a paradigm shift in digital art.
    This video, like always, is amazing. Thanks for making it.

    This was insanely interesting, man. My god. Please DO NOT ever stop creating content. Idc how long between, because evidently the longer you’re gone the powerful you become - far beyond 8000 power level at this point.

    The discoloration gets cleared by degaussing (demagnetizing) coils present inside the display (around the CRT itself). The purpose of waiting some time before powering up is to let the PTC (temperature dependent resistor) that controls degaussing process cool down. Some later displays can trigger the degaussing on demand. External degaussing coils were also available.

    I've been watching this gem of a channel since 2013 and I'm constantly enthralled by the way Stuart presents and talks about the technical processes whether if it's in guns or boxes or now burgers lmao. I love watching how things are made and created since I was a kid so this video really speaks to me. Your passion for vintage technology really shines in this video going the extra mile to recreate a lost artwork with respect to the Amiga's hardware. I am impressed by the cutting-edge work the Amiga team was able to do in 1985.

    At this point it's no longer a mere art, nor a recreation of art, not even just a preservation of lost art; it's a whole journey of its own. What seems like a worthwhile waste of time doesn't feel like a waste of time at all!
    Also, I dig the bouncing, squishing burger that I didn't know I would need it.
    Whenever Ahoy cooks something, it would be a guaranteed banger. Love this video!

    The thing about pixel art is, it looks harsh on modern displays, but they were designed specifically to look good on CRTs and other older, lower-resolution monitors. Your recreation, on the Amiga monitor, looks fantastic for that!
