Banner Image: Quine Relay -- Copyright (c) 2013, 2014 Yusuke Endoh (@mametter), @hirekoke Digital Art In almost all circumstances, code is a means to an end. The phrase "computer programming" itself describes the activity of programming a computer to accomplish a particular task. Often, that task is logical. Most computer programs do something "useful", whether that's calculating the best route from your home to work, balancing a budget, or running your smart fridge's Twitter client. But many programs are written solely to produce something of aesthetic value. Recently, Generative AI applications like Midjourney, which can produce visual art from text…
