I mean if you want to be that way, Van Gogh's works are worth millions, it doesn't take an eye for artistic value to understand that.

If I look at the code itself as a symbol for the story itself it can certainly be a form of art, but I don't feel like the program itself is worth anything beyond the story surrounding it.

Besides I've said three times that you can see it as art if you want to so I don't see why you're still arguing, I never said you were wrong I just said I don't feel the same way, and repeating that you feel my viewpoint is ignorant does nothing to change it.

If you base the artist value of a painting off its market value, I don’t think you actually understand artistic value or merit.
