DevArt: your code belongs in an art gallery

In 2014, Google collaborated with the Barbican in London to host DevArt, an interactive gallery part of the Digital Revolution exhibition, celebrating the creative use of technology in art. This initiative invited developers to merge their coding skills with artistic expression, offering them the chance to have their work displayed alongside renowned interactive artists like Karsten Schmidt, Zach Lieberman, and the duo Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Canet. Participants were encouraged to use a variety of technologies, including OpenFrameworks, Processing, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi, as long as they incorporated at least one Google technology, such as Google APIs or platforms like Android and Chrome Apps. The projects were developed openly on GitHub, providing insights into the creative processes of modern tech artists. Developer Advocate Paul Kinlan, based in Liverpool, highlighted this opportunity for developers to innovate and showcase their creativity to a global audience.
