Queering Code Manual

Queering Code is written in Bash, which is a command line interface and a scripting language developed in 1989 as a piece of free software for Unix Systems (Linux and Mac OS but it has been also ported to Windows). The bash script is a plain text file that contains a series of commands for computer execution. Queering Code is both a work of “software art” (software as artwork, not software to make an artwork) and a “codework” (where the source code and critical writing operate together) produced to embody "queer code” as a form of code poetry. The piece explores the material and linguistic tensions of writing, reading and printing computer code.
