There is a website devoted to curating what it calls software art. The definition of software art in use here is basically an object written in some computer language or other that is a piece of art in itself or has as its function the output of art. This allows for a broad range of works--random op-art generators, a programming language that uses whitespace keys as its elements, games, text scramblers, you name it. I think it's pretty interesting,
Some of the pieces seem to be in the tradition of art puzzles and games, like the exqusite corpse or John Gardner's "smoke" game (where people try to descrbe a famous person by assuming the persona of something closely identified with them). Some are firmly in the tradition of generative art and music. Others are just plain weird objects. |
