This interactive multimedia computer art installation sends sparks across the synapse gaps between hacking, making, wordplay, programming, engineering, visual art, and historic conservation. So, yeah — it pretty much lights up my whole brain.

def sleep(z):
for n in range(z):

time.sleep(0.25)
def hack(s):
for c in s:
sys.stdout.write( '%s' % c )
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.25)

hack(" sleep. hack. repeat.")
repeat(6)
This dc401.py script does the job, but I think it would benefit from some old-fashioned code bumming. For example, I wonder whether I could rewrite the sleep() function to accept multiple arguments in such a way that I could avoid extra time.sleep() and print statements in the hack() function.
But there is an additional constraint: everything should be accomplished in the three named functions, which are a DC401 slogan of sorts. It’s like those “Perl poetry“ competitions — only cooler, because it’s Python poetry. (No offense intended to my Perl-monger friends.)
