Within CODeDOC, Whitney Museum’s ‘net art project that takes a look at the coding side of software art, this Java project was especially mesmerizing. From the source code comments: “This code reads in its own source and displays it in a tiny font, then moves three points in ‘code space.’ It essentially comments on itself. The white Insertion Point traces the code in the order it was written. The amber Fixation Point traces word by word as someone might read it. The green Execution Point shows a sample of how the computer reads it. The code lines themselves gradually get brighter as they execute more.” More on the author’s related projects at TextArc.
