    My student @LingdongH has released 文言, or wenyan, an esoteric programming language that closely follows the grammar and tone of classical Chinese literature. There's an online IDE, and it compiles to JS or Python. Github: github.com/LingDong-/weny… Site: wenyan-lang.lingdong.works

    Today I learned that computer artist Jean-Pierre Hébert (1931-2021) devised algorithms to execute all of his plotter drawings in a single line (with no pen-ups) because it reduced the chances of disruption by his children.

    Dear @ChristiesInc @gcerutti: As you advertise the authenticity of Warhol's "five original drawings" on the NFT blockchain, I'm concerned that your collectors might be confused about what they're bidding on—since you're not auctioning the originals, which were created at 320x200.

    I may be an ass, but I am no longer an Ass. Professor. Huge thanks to everyone who supported me. Time to give back.

    In order to make a generative drawing, you must first make the generative paper to draw it on.

    Replying to @golan
    When we presented these Warhol Amiga works in @CreativeInquiry's 30th anniversary exhibition (2019), per contract with @thewarholmuseum, we compromised: we displayed unscaled 320x200 PNGs, served from a modern PC, via analog composite video, on an authentic 1985 Amiga monitor.
