The authors of the text argue that any relationship established between the code and analogue elements of the operating system should be recognized as a matter of aesthetic choice. According to them with free code writing, enabled by rising computational power, certain elements (procedures) of the work may become part of artistic expression as a result of the designer’s arbitrary decision. In contrast, in older installations codes had to be well-matched to ensure compatibility with the analogue components of the system because of constraints in computer performance. It was a relationship in which only these procedures could be applied which conformed to the architecture of the operating system. Consequently, the expression of such work was essentially a reflection of its structure.
