Founded in 1990, the group originally specialized in [[ANSI art]]work for [[bulletin board system|BBSes]]. More recently, they have extended their reach into other graphical media and [[computer software]] development. == History == ACiD Productions was founded in 1990 as '''ANSI Creators in Demand''' by five members: [[RaD Man]], Shadow Demon, Grimm, The Beholder, and Phantom. Their work originally concentrated in [[ANSI art|ANSI]] and [[ASCII art]], but the group later branched out into other artistic media such as music [[MOD (file format)|tracking]], [[Demo (computer programming)|demo]] coding, and multimedia [[software engineering|software development]] (e.g. image viewers). In the mid-1990s, ACiD created subsidiary groups responsible for these broader areas. For example, [[Remorse ASCII|Remorse]] is the official ACiD sub-label responsible for ASCII art and other text-based graphics. Similarly, [[pHluid]] is responsible for module tracking and music production. Today, ACiD focuses largely on the preservation of [[digital art]] history, [[talk radio]] news, and sale of their [[DVD]]-based artscene archives. == Works == ACiD has produced a variety of well-received works and services.
