Yeep!Eep!Eep!Program (or YEEP) creates databent images using the unique retro pseudographics of the Commodore 64. By manipulating the VIC registers, YEEP generates images based on data that happens to be in RAM at the time, and what was on the screen just before the program ran. This information is mediated through character sets controlled by the user. It also has controls to alter the color and add additional data to be drawn. The entire palette available on the C64 is in use (all 16 colors!).
YEEP graphics are the face of a crashed system, but with bold colors and orthogonal shapes influenced by Josef Albers and Moholy-Nagy.
