#12"DevArt is a new type of art", "DevArt is the opportunity to open their creative process, share their art with the world and be a part of a new movement in art."
Why are they pretending to have invented this? Net art (or whatever you want to call it) has been a thing since the 90s, Rhizome has plenty of early examples (http://rhizome.org/artbase/)

If we count ascii art it goes back further than that.

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.

Display hacks are one of the oldest forms of code. TMRC was hacking them together even before the PDP-1.

#17A (fairly poor) study I did last year on code as art lives here: http://faegernis.com/
I would like to get back to it sometime, but my knowledge of aesthestics is limited.
Re: DevArt: Art made with code
#18I 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=2qMvqeEUzzw . I think it helps to try to at least work in a creative or visual industry though.)

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.

#20Really disappointing you had to work with Googles APIs. This might seem normal for the developer/hackathon world but in the art world companies are usually happy to sponsor art when it has nothing to do with their products
