On “Text snake confusion”
Update to my other answer:
I have asked AI about it and it recognized Yusuke Endoh as the author. He has talks about artistic ruby code that's very similar: [video
But there's more. He also is the author of the exact animation you have posted. He published the code for it: https://github.com/mame/sonny-boy-nankai
So to summarize, the whole thing is not only visually artistic, but it's also a Quine, a self-outputting code that outputs itself in different shapes on every step. So it's even artistic from a technical point of view! It also was not done by a gifted artist, but from a highly skilled person with a very specific skillset.
