Low-tech solutions are less of an aesthetic choice than a practical constraint for many artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the text-based ASCII map loads much more quickly than a JPEG or GIF of comparable size. This made the site more readily accessible to visitors who lacked access to broadband connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ASCII map serves as a site map, with each country labeled with its two-letter domain name\u2014.mx for Mexico, .ve for Venezuela\u2014and each domain name linking to lists of works identified with that country.
