Jed's Other Poem: Videoclip with vintage BASIC on vintage computer

The New York based designer Stewdio made a really nice videoclip for the indi-postrock band Granddaddy. The track Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) is featured on the album The Sophtware Slump.

Steward used an original 1979 Apple II and a dose of BASIC to make the video. Watch the video Jed's Other Poem. The author of the clip also reveals the lines of code that generated the clip in the video. Cute and somehow very open source. You can also have a download of the source.

last week I saw jodi.org perform "live" and one of their pieces (my favorite, btw) was the writing and execution of some spectrum code to fill the screen with black, modifying some parameters each time to do it in different fashions. I found it totally cute.

Too bad it was just a video.
