Code Paintings
These paintings contain executable computer code. For example, a script for sed, the text manipulation program written in the mid 1970s at Bell Labs. The code painted on one canvas will substitute certain words in Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince": state and city with network; nobles and barons with syndicate; and prince with algorithm. The code is first transfered to newsprint, the formerly ubiquitous news delivery vehicle. This cycle speaks directly to coders, who, in aggregate, have touched the lives of most of us alive today.
