Change The Code, Keep The Text: Computer Code As Creative Expression

Is computer code a form of expression or simply a machine operation? For some computer programmers, the process of finding an idea, developing it, and sitting down to write code is the same as traditional creative writing. Under the advisory of famed postmodern literary critic, N.Katherine Hayles, Gavin Jocius examines code as a form of digital expression, similar to creative writing or art, where programmers are free to put creative thought into their work and display written words on a computer screen in imaginative ways. As we become more dependent on technology, the division between machine and human language decreases, thus forcing us to consider the possibilities this opens for the future.
