This repository wraps into a Maven project an original piece of code and artwork by W. Bradford Paley.
The original source code can be found here, hosted by the by the Whitney Museum's portal to Internet art. It was written on August 9-15 2002 for CODeDOC; commissioned by Christiane Paul, Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY USA.
More than 14 years after its creation, we were very much inspired by this very nice and cool art work. Putting it on github, we wanted to, hopefully, increase its visibility.
#To see the CodeProfiles artwork

You can also watch a video excerpt. It reads like this:
- the green text in the background is the whole source code to run this piece of software art
- the green lines show how the code executes (we can see loops, calls to other parts of the program, etc.)
- the white lines show the order in which the code was written by the author
- the orange lines show how a human reads the code, from top to bottom
