Then and Now: Digital Expression From WIRED Magazine December 1994 http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.12/negroponte.html Message 18: Date: 12.1.94 From: Nicholas Negroponte <nicholas@media.mit.edu>; To: Louis Rossetto <lr@wiredmag.com>; Subject: Digital Expression "My belief in this comes from watching computer hackers, both young and old. Their programs are like paintings: they have aesthetic qualities and are shown and discussed in terms of their meaning from many perspectives. Their programs include behavior and style that reflect their makers. These people are the forerunners of the new expressionists." 10:20:18 PM
