Earlier quoted context omitted.

> No mention of demoscene on the entire site, Hey, the demo scene existed way before "making art with code" became an expression owned by the young hipsters who think they invented everything, so no wonder they don't even consider it exists.

My initial reaction was similar. There are some fine pieces on the website; but then why the fuck is raspberry pi listed as a platform, along with iOS, Linux and Windows? Why is Arduino there? If someone decides to do something on a MegaAVR, is that going to get there in addition to Arduino? I honestly appreciate the initiative, but I find the presentation to be very disrespectful about the code part of it.

I really love code as art. I do a bit during my free time, but it's a dream to do it full-time. Does anyone know how to break into this field?

I guess it's a bit like doing regular art full-time. Get yourself a name, a mystique, an agent, a benefactor. Skill is one thing, but success requires marketing. (that said there's a number people who manage to do a regular bill-paying job and pursue an artistic endeavour on the side - eg Andy Lomas works at the Foundry by day and then does cool CUDA-powered music videos by night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qMvq…
