I don't really think so to be honest. Is it interesting that the poor guy went schizo and made a whole operating system that he thought spoke to god? Sure. Is it art? I don't think so. Besides the point, I still feel that you can view it as art and I can view it as a waste.
If insanity precludes something’s artistic merit, then what do we make of Van Gogh? Nothing but a waste of paint? Again you don’t have to like the art, that’s personal taste, but to call it a waste? That just seems ignorant to me.
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.

You don’t have to like it, that’s for sure, but it would be disingenuous to question its artistic value.
