Black Maiden
 PC-Demo: Interceptor by Black Maiden ANSI by Voice/Black Maiden Black Maiden is a group of people — mainly from Europe — participating in various art disciplines like demos, music, textmode art, graphics design, graffiti and alike. Black Maiden was founded in 1985 by Voice and Tex as a cracking group on the Amstrad CPC. Their interest in graphics grew and after doing pixel and game artwork on the Atari they moved on to the PC, where they discovered the textmode world of ANSI and ASCII and made their debut as an ANSI art group in December 1994.
During the rise of the European ANSI scene in the mid 1990s, Black Maiden became well known and established in the international textmode art scene. Several influential and well known artists (among those: Konami, Noize, Leonardo, Kyp and Avenger) released their work in artpacks called "BMBooks".
Through the fade of ANSI art in the late '90s, Black Maiden shifted their focus to the demo and music scene. Besides releasing artistic productions, the members of Black Maiden participate in the organization of Evoke, the second largest demo party in Germany, and coordinate additional demoscene-outreach related activities via Digitale Kultur e.V.
Other Black Maiden members are constantly producing music or are involved in many creative scene- and non-scene-disciplines.
