From the "ASCII porn doesn't count" department: Title: Does your Raspberry Pi belong in a gallery? Author: carrieanne Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 09:49:07 -0500 Link: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/6256?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=does-your-raspberry-pi-belong-in-a-gallery It is a beautiful piece of hardware and I’m sure takes pride of place in many a building, with scores of people gazing upon it in wonder, especially if you’ve hacked it to do something cool. But is it art? Google Developers certainly think so, and have launched Dev Art: Art Made with Code[1] mid-February, as an open platform that allows artists to share their digital art with the world and also detail the process they took to create their work in a unique way. If you have not already checked out the site, then I would highly recommend doing so. Raspberry Pi is listed as a platform, and there are some examples of its use in this project such as the Wireless Poetry Installation[2]. As well as the Dev Art website, Google have teamed up with the Barbican in London to host an exhibition of digital interactive art[3] this summer and they are offering anyone the chance to exhibit alongside some of the worlds most well known digital artists in this exhibition through their Dev Art competition. The winning creative coder will receive a budget of £25K, Google Developer support as well as curational and production support from the Barbican to help realise their concept into a digital art installation. The Top 10 Finalists will have the opportunity to meet the DevArt judging panel during a Google+ Hangout, along with a ‘DevArt Finalist’ award for their site. We know how powerful art can be in teaching computing skills since working with Dr Sam Aaron on Sonic Pi[4], and watching our own Artist in Residence Rachel Rayns lead workshops. Now it is over to you! We hope that the wider Raspberry Pi community will feel motivated to submit their projects to the Dev Art competition. Who knows, maybe you could be exhibiting at the Barbican!
