Authorship and Re-Appropriation    

A different approach to computational drawing, as a process comprised of three elements: a raw material or medium, the gestures performed by the artist and an element of intended meaning attached to those gestures. The intended meaning manifests itself through memory, metaphor, and an obscure reasoning process that is often described as the gift of artistic insight. 

How can we think of the expressive experience of the second artist? Is it merely exploratory, or can it be thought of as a whole creative encounter with the medium? Is the programmer merely a tool maker, or an artist in her own right?

Thus, the second artist can have an audience experience in the sense of utilizing minimalist elements of style provided by the programmer to reflect upon questions of form and style within these constraints.

The experience of the second artist can also be thought of in terms of re-appropriation.
