A bit of topic, but the blog conclusion made me wondered if anyone would one day expose code in a museum.
Any people who've seen real top level code know there is a kind of beauty or at least aesthetic in very correct code, so why not put them on a frame and expose them. Same could be said of some really important mathematic or physic formulas, but they're sometimes short and their meaning really is obscure. Whereas code is at least partially written in human language, which would make such an exhibit still understandable by everyone.
- daeken 13y agoI've had some prints done of shaders I've written that were beautiful, and the next step for me is to put the code right along with the images. I see an odd kind of beauty in tying the two together, like seeing the palette next to a painting. Just need to figure out how I'm going to present it.
- cing 13y agoI'm not sure about "code as art" but Bernar Venet uses a lot of mathematics in his works. http://nicolaanthony.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/a-perfect-synthesis-of-art-and-mathematics-bernar-venet-in-singapore/ http://nicolaanthony.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/a-perfect-synt... He even framed an astrophysics paper once in the Centre Pompidou, http://scienceblogs.com/cognitivedaily/2007/06/08/euroupdate-2-is-science-art/ http://scienceblogs.com/cognitivedaily/2007/06/08/euroupdate...
