"This notion of source code as readable - as creating some outcome regardless of its machinic execution - underlies "codework" and other creative projects. The Internet artist Mez, for instance, has created a language called mezangelle that incorporates formal code and informal speech. Mez's poetry deliberately plays with programming syntax, producing language that cannot be executed, but nonetheless draws on the conventions of programming language to signify." - Wendy Chun, "Programmed Visions: Software and Memory".
