  1. HelloWorld.Show(); | Exhibiting the art of computer source code Monday, July 27, 2009

    CreateHere is pleased to host HelloWorld.show();, an invitational exhibition of source code, opening on July 31, 2009 in the CreateHere Studio, 55here, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Featuring nine computer programmers and visual artists who hail from across the country, this exhibition breaks new ground by exhibiting computer source code and visual art created via the machine.

    Computer source code is the ‘architecture’ that supports contemporary information sharing via the Internet; i.e. websites, and email. This powerful medium is, inarguably, one of the pioneering forces behind 21st century innovation.

    For this exhibition, computer programmers have been invited to develop new methods of display for both front- and back-end code. The act of showcasing source code in a gallery speaks to both the beauty and the functionality of websites we interact with on a daily basis. Visitors will also be amazed to see ‘paintings’ created without a paintbrush. These impressive works of art are the result of complex computer programming.

    By amplifying source code, HelloWorld.show(); reminds us that creative work comes in many forms.

    Join us for the exhibition opening on August 7, 2009, with live music from Elefont Byte, who describe themselves as players of “Pythagoraen Program Music.” Doors open at 6 pm and stay open until 8 pm.
