(Meeting on March 28 and thesis class and following sketches)
I discussed two prototype ideas with Sarah. One uses voxels as a code metaphor but is not as practical for an installation.
The other one uses a pen plotter. It metaphorizes coding as drawing. A user “forks” from the latest commit or a previous commit. Then, they continue to draw sketches, just like revising code. After drawing, the user leaves a commit message to submit a “commit.” The pen plotter will print the latest commit as a snapshot every hour (or at other intervals). The printing process is like the building process of code. Finally, it is printed, as if the software is released.
During the class, I received meaningful feedback. One concern was what a user should do during the interval. Suggestions included leaving an email and sending the released version to them. The other concern was about people’s roles in this AI era. In addition, someone raised the question of the relationship between this installation and the open source community.
Here’s a current version sketch:
