Artists as Programmers     

What sorts of art forms will emerge as artists start working with a programming language as a raw material?

By working in a programming environment, we produce pieces that exist independently of the hand of other authors or programmers. 

For a programmer, the artistic process is the act of writing the code. Different skills are involved in traditional art, which requires great hand/eye coordination and intuitive faith in the hand, and computational art, which demands concise, analytical thinking.
