The Well-tempered Compiler? The Aesthetics of Program Auralization

Human-Computer Interaction 2013-11-22 v1

Abstract

In this chapter we are concerned with external auditory representations of programs, also known as program auralization. As program auralization systems tend to use musical representations they are necessarily affected by artistic and aesthetic considerations. Therefore, it is instructive to explore program auralization in the light of aesthetic computing principles.
