code.specific(beta);
The self-representation of software through a concrete metaphore

A project by Alessandro Capozzo and Katja Noppes,

code.specific(beta); is an installation based on a former web based software ( alpha version).
code.specific is a tautology: a software analyzing and representing itself (its code) as a synthetic architectonic structure.
The physical aspect of the work consists in a small pillar coated with a surface of silicon rubber. The material has been shaped with a wooden formwork using a method similar to the concrete pouring process.
Over the parallelepiped an LCD display, visualizing software output, has been mounted on.
Audience could interact with the software by two infrared ranger sensors mounted on two small iron structures, the system allows different kind of interaction: rotating the visualization on two axis, hacking the orthogonal aspect and displaying the software code.

This installation has been conceived as the second stage of a software objectification process.
