In this course
Nick Montfort is a theorist and practitioner of code as creative and critical practice, particularly in understanding how programming languages and constraints shape artistic expression. The course readings draw on his detailed analysis of code obfuscation and esoteric programming practices as aesthetic and conceptual work, treating computational obscurity not as a bug but as a deliberate artistic method. His editorial work (with Wardrip-Fruin) also positions him as a curator of the historical relationship between human-computer interaction and media art, helping trace how interfaces have become sites of aesthetic concern.
