The demoscene (actual code art) isn't even mentioned in the article!? Makes it hard to take it seriously, and gives the whole thing a stuffy and academic kind of feeling.
Has anyone read the book? ("The Software Arts" by Warren Sack) Maybe demoscene does get a mention in there?
Seems unlikely when this is the main conclusion of the article:
"software designers need to become fluent in social, political, and cultural theories and methods"
I'm all for creativity in programming, truly, but this utterly fails to "overcome formality with creativity" (as 1995 by Kewlers & MFX urges)
