What do you get if you merge a computer, its hardware, its software and a lashing of artistic pinash?
A Touch of Code of course.
This book tells the story of how innovative work is produced where the
virtual realms meet the real world and where data flow can confront the
human senses.
Code:
Have we got your attention yet, if so then you will probably want to
know where the word Code comes into play. In the days of ol, the Code
was what computer programmers used to interact with their artificially
intelligent lumps. Now, through interactive algorithms forms are created
that are beyond anyone's imagination.
Touch:
For many years now code is no longer limited by screens, mice,
keyboards, or terminal windows. All can be done by touch, or physical
computing.
A Touch of Code shows how these genre work to create a contemporary medium.
