Composing along continuums of technology and purpose.

Abstract

It is tempting to see artists who write their own computer code as comprising a circumscribed minority having a peculiar temperament. This article attempts to show that in the current digital world there exist programs that enable artists to move along a continuum of coded and non-coded computer use. In addition, it uses the personal creative experiences of the author to illustrate the value for artists of moving into the coded end of the continuum.
