                     Interview with Vouck of Altern
                 - -------------------------------- -


o1.  When did you make your first Ascii attempts?

   - In the end of 1995 i made my 1st collection. I begin my first
     ascii logo in 1994, without any scene. Hm... it was a simple
     border design. My very 1st 'collection' (not available anymore)
     was a one page text with senseless logos like penis or something.

o2.  Do you know how many Ascii-productions have you released?

   - There're exactly 8 collection.

o3.  What's so damn special with Ascii?

   - I made my first steps without any scene. I thought this slashs,
     points must have a sense. First in 1996 i noticed the scene.

o4.  Have you got any special idols from the Ascii-scene?

   - May i add my respect list here ?! No, watch my collections

o5.  What's your opinion about the Iff2Ascii-Art?

   - I always made my dots by hand and i've nothing against iff2ascii.

o6.  Are dot's more stylish than 'regular' Ascii?

   - I'm a dotter as long i live, hehe.

o7.  Do you read every single collection that is released today?

   - Yo, i'm a junkie. I watch from no names till popular peoples like Mogue!
     Every weekend i must have a minimum of 3 collections or i'll die during
     the coming week.

o8.  Do you answer requests made to 'All Available Artists' ?

   - No, i watch every collection but take not all requests. Or better, asciis
     for known artists lookin better than for unknown. ;)

o9.  How should a request be written to be guarantied a answer from you?

   - I hate ''ve 5 minutes before my bus is here please do me a xxx logo'
     reqs. I also hate die 'please, please, please' or 'your style is sooooo
     coool' ...

1o.  Are there more Ascii-groups than there has to be?

   - Hm, as far i know has everybody a life-permission when you're born.
     Do you want to kill a unborn child ?!

11.  What do you think of the attitude in the Ascii-scene of today?

   - Most people are to lazy!

12.  What do you think about the idea of having special magazines
     dedicated to the Ascii-scene?

   - Nice for information! Why not ?!

13.  Is there a big difference between Old-skool Ascii and Ascii of
     today?

   - No compare. The old times are over and the next generation is waiting.
     Thats the rhythm of life...

14.  Have you any special projects going on that will be released in a
     near future?

   - I released today my collection 'Hacking On Heavens Door' ...

15.  What would you be doing instead of Ascii if you suddenly quitted?

   - I made ascii without scene and i'll do ascii scene. I've fun with doing
     ascii and i'm not forced to MUST this requests or similar. Ascii is for
     me, not for you.

16.  Do you have a horny snoop doggy dogg?

   - Nope, though I had 3 hamsters!
