hi, here is one informative page:

ascii art = graphical images composed of text 
http://users.inetw.net/~mullen/asciiart.htm

but i guess asci art can be much more then joust 'graphical images
composed of text'

i find it simmilar to visual poetry and to mail art, it's a expresion
based on graphical representation of speach with visual side of the
letters (ascii) in mind and not so much the content (of the language)



>Do I have to learn some programming language first ?

not necesary, a notepad is ok, Email Effects (program to draw in ascii)
can be fun, and
java script or perl can procuduce some nice ascii



here is one i made out of one text with own javascript: (as for any
ascii - fixed width font is required)
