I used different types of dithering (ordered, error diffusion) in many of my design projects as a visual language, static or animated, mostly for projects related to tech/computers/blockchain, sometimes combined with ASCII art.

There is a certain warmth (or maybe it’s just nostalgia) of these older techniques that can be harvested and combined with new ideas or new takes.
