[PD] a question about pidip, and a comment about programming and art

[derek holzer]

There is a fairly interesting interview called "Code as Creative 
Writing: An Interview with John Simon" on Rhizome, which addresses some 
of these issues.

Unfortunately, access to Rhizome is not free, but somehow you can access 
their content via Google ;-) so here is the link:

Paying Rhzome members can see it here:

best,
