Is Computer Programming a Form of Art?
“Since the publication of “The Art of Computer programming” by Donald E. Knuth in 1968, the notion that programs can be considered works of art is familiar to computer scientist, but the general public has taken little notice of such works of art. For example, there are no art reviews where computer programs are presented and evaluated based on their artistic value. This paper, written for the occasion of Donald Knuth’s 80th birthday, attempts to fill this gap. It presents and evaluates three small programs. The selection reflects the personal preferences and taste of the author.”
