Codeworks: Netzkunst an der Grenze von Sprache und Digitalcodes
by Florian Cramer

Since the founding manifesto of the French Oulipo Group in 1962, in which
it
proposed writing poetry in computer programming language, there have been

forms of electronic literature that not only employ computers primarily
as
text generators or audiovisual media, but also use programming, command,

markup, and protocol codes as their medium. Departing from popular forms
of
this literature in the computer hacker culture, network artists like
jodi,
antiorp, and mez have been developing new poetic and artistic languages
since the mid-nineties, for which the artist and theorist Alan Sondheim
has
coined the name Codework. Codeworks are technically simple e-mails whose

text, however, calls to mind associations of computer crashes and
interferences, viruses and spam. Initially, they were sent via network
art
mailing lists as interferences; later entire forums dedicated to the
genre,
individual styles, and private languages by individual and often
pseudonymous code artists began developing. This program attempts for the

first time to transpose codeworks from the written source text to
radiophony.
