[[Image:Radinterviewcrop.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Christian Wirth during an interview by Jason Scott Sadofsky (textfiles.com) for the ''BBS Documentary'' film DVD]] Christian Wirth, better known by the pseudonym RaD Man, is a computer artist and historian. He works in the field of ANSI art, a method of creating art using a limited set of Codepage 437 and colour ANSI_escape_code based loosely on the relevant ANSI standard (X3.64: Escape sequence for Computer terminals and Peripherals). RaD Man was initially involved in the Aces of ANSI Art (AAA), an organization which created ANSI artwork for a number of computer bulletin board systems in the late 1980s. With others, he created the "ANSI Creators in Demand" group (also known as ACiD Productions). Starting in 1990, ACiD released artwork on an ad-hoc network of BBSes, updating a collection of art known as the ''ACiD Acquisition'' by sending a data compression file of all the completed work up to that time. By 1992, the increasing file size made this process impractical, and this led to the development of the artpack, where groups of artists (including ACiD) would upload monthly update packages instead. In 1996, RaD Man founded the ACiD Artpacks Archive to collect the artpacks created by the [http://artscene.textfiles.com/artpacks/ hundreds of groups] that followed in ACiD's footsteps. This collection eventually was transferred to DVD as ''[http://www.darkdomain.org/ Dark Domain]'' in 2004. Since 2002, RaD Man has worked as a historian and spokesperson for the computer art scene, collecting information and interviews with the artists involved, and creating reports and presentations on the lineage of computer art. Some of this work includes ''[http://www.acid.org/radio/index.html The ARTS]'', a talk radio show which discusses the many different facets of the creative computer underground scenes and the Pilgrimage (demoparty) 2004 Demoscene.
