If we could get back to those original questions Tom raised-(i) what is the hacker aesthetic?
This is tough for me. You draw a parallel to Minimalism. The works of artists like Paul B. Davis and Emma Davidson, see www.myspace.com/damyspacehustlerz for a current example, or Paper Rad for instance, seem packed full of extraneous code. They seem to revel in it. Am I wrong in thinking of these artists as utilizing a "hacker aesthetic"? Can anyone site a code based work that would more clearly illustrate this idea to me? (jimpunk, jodi.org?)
