TAILIEUCHUNG - The Aesthetics of Generative Code

I hope that what is meant by this admittedly vague contention will become clearer through the course of this essay. It might be thought too easy to have recourse to ‘everyday usage’, for probably any definition at all can be supported by judicious selection from the flux of everyday language. I am able, however, to adduce here non- specialist usages of ‘aesthetic’ and its cognates by three of the authors whose writings on the peoples of the Southern Sudan are drawn on in this essay.

Our argument is that like poetry the aesthetic value of code lies in its execution not simply its written form. However to appreciate generative code fully we need to sense the code to fully grasp what it is we are experiencing and to build an understanding of the code s actions. To separate the code and the resultant actions would simply limit the aesthetic experience and ultimately limit the study of these forms - as a form of criticism - and what in this context might better be called a poetics of generative code.

What is essential is the aesthetic act. 1 From the Greek aisthesis aesthetics is broadly defined as pertaining to material things perceptible by the senses and is more precisely defined by Baumgarten in Aesthetica 1750 defining beauty as phenomenal perfection as perceived through the senses with aesthetics pertaining to the beautiful or to the theory of taste 2 .
