10 Print
variations on a classic algorithm
10 PRINT is the title of a book about a one-line Commodore 64 BASIC program: 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10. The book is "a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture." The BASIC program creates a pattern by randomly selecting forward or back slashes over a screen or page (e.g. ///\\/\/\/\/\\\\/\). Here, I use a variety of methods to materialize the binary decisions onto wood and paper.
