This is silly, there's plenty of art that takes a subject and renders it in an incongruous medium. It is usually not productive to criticize art for not achieving something it is not trying to achieve. I'm not taking a side on the question of whether the code calligraphy is good or not, but your argument that it's bad because it doesn't follow the particular model that you think is the correct intersection between art and data does not hold water.
