Do Androids Dream of the Proletariat Revolution?

exploring the relationship between code and coder

Code and coder have a really intimate relationship.

 

Written code is the result of labour of the coder, but when executing, code becomes a tool, a means of production.

With the era of information and the third industrial revolution, code has become the result of, but also the main ingredient that enables, thousands of hours of human labour.

Given the complex relationship of code, as both result and means of labour, a question appears, parallel to Phillip K. Dicks question about electric sheep – Do androids dream of a proletariat revolution?

Do androids dream of a proletariat revolution? Is a series of written works, performances and pieces that explore the relationship between code and coder, and tries to showcase code in and by itself, rather than just a means of achieving or solving a problem.

To start exploring some of these questions, Self-Reflection is a series of images generated using Midjourney, prompting it with code or pseudocode of famous algorithms and math concepts. How do these models see the code that makes up their very soul?
