hi! all... i think it depends on how do you approach to programming and what
kind of tools you're using for it. i'm working on proce55ing (which is a
medium level programming software) and i think the process of writing code
on it it's so near to the practise of arts... because code is abstract, you
have to imagine representation as image but programming too, programming is
not just an art by itself (as marc said before) if it doesn't have an arty
goal ... about the topic of this, there's an interaction artist: Hernando
Barragan who has a text about it, its name is "code, art?", unfortunately i
don't know if there is an english version, but if someone knows spanish can
read it here http://hipercubo.uniandes.edu.co/redes03/pdf/hipe/codigo.pdf
nice weekend,
n.

HI Rob & all,
In regards to the purity of the activity, one can understand the
'programming is ust programming' notion, but it gets interesting when
intentions and what the speciifc programming is for, as why do the
programming in the first place. To be honest I find hard to disagree
with anyone, mainly because I think that means many different things to
most people...
marc
