Document Summary
Reading: form and code on design, architecture, and art. A system of words letters or signs used to represent a message . In communications and information processing, convert information into another form or representation. We need to translate design intentions into programming languages. Code is also felt in physical space - controls lower aspects of the physical world, code helps realise new forms of language. Is an algorithm, helps translate from one language to another language, through a series of rules. Example: recipe for tomato pasta. defines a specific process and enough details for. Hiking directions: many algorithms have assumptions, this one assumes you know. Sol lewitt: instead of physically producing his drawings, he wrote algorithms. there us to recreate the product. how to hike. is room for interpretation, ambiguity, and even contradictions. Whose execution requires no intelligence, intuition, cleverness, or insight. Sooner or later comes to an end.
