To make the image above, I recreated in Python the BASIC program consisting entirely of one line of code:

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10

Then I ran the Python program I wrote, copied results from Terminal, pasted into a text layer in Photoshop, set it in Avenir Next, adjusted linespacing and kerning, and gave figure and ground Commodore 64-correct colors. The original was a program so impressively concise there's a book about it:
"Like a diary from the forgotten past, computer code is embedded with stories of a program's making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more."
