About

John F. Simon, Jr. is an artist who uses programming language as an activated extension of written language. His software programs are displayed on the Web and also on wall-mounted LCD screens. His software compositions never repeat. The beautiful patterns and movement emerge from Simon's process of considering computer coding as a kind of creative writing. He made an artist's book about his software drawing tools that was published at Printed Matter in New York City.
