@upmultimedia@mastodon.gamedev.place This doesn't sound right. Art is a matter of interpretation and context, as famous examples like "Fountain" (attributed to Duchamp) have demonstrated. A urinal may normally be purely functional, but stick it in an art show and you can make it art. More recently, Dwarf Fortress (a computer game made of code) appeared in the MoMA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_in_the_Museum_of_Modern_Art So by your definition, perhaps most code that we encounter is craft, but that same code could be transformed into art whenever.
