From 1898 on a typewriter. ;)

Any medium can become a medium for art if you work hard enough :)

Anyway, typewriter art is obviously still different from ASCII art/kaomoji because characters can be printed over each other, and a special button allows the cursor to move freely vertically, as opposed to ½/¼ line height (free horizontal positioning and rotation must be done by reloading the paper, which is why some typewriter art doesn't incorporate these).
