The algorithm underlying the artwork The Position of a Line by the American conceptual artist Sol LeWitt has been re-executed here, but now in a three-dimensional virtual space that can be viewed through glory holes.
The position of lines is defined not only in code but also in language. Language is used here in a factual way, any meaning is avoided. This reflects the thinking of the German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who considered language as a flawed tool for our thinking. Much cannot be expressed in language. According to Wittgenstein, it is therefore better to limit the use of language to what it can express.
