Relatedly, I just became aware of this short text by Boris #Groys on Kojève's notion of the human, which contextualises many of the arguments made by Kojève in his 1942 manuscript on #work, outlined by me in the JfCR article linked in the post above. This text is the Introduction of Groys's Kojève biography, which just came out with #Verso.

The ‘post-display condition of contemporary computer art’ identifies a discursive gap
in the revision of Conceptual Art, Systems Art and Computer Art. It calls for a better understanding of artist-code-display-user with the view to a more nuanced and critical relationship to Computer Art. In reaffirming the significance of code seen underlying these authors’ discussions of a particular type of art production, this paper advocates reconceptualising the artist-display-user paradigm that remains all pervasive in regards to computer art. Groys and Stallabrass agree that the significance of code remains paramount in the development of generative and non-generative computer art works but fail to specify what is meant by code […] This paper recasts code as not only a product of intention and meaning, but as a producer of intention and meaning.
