Artists virtually gatecrash Google's DevArt Barbican exhibit
By Katie Collins.
A collective of coders and artists who go by the name Hack the Artworld
have gatecrashed the Google-sponsored DevArt exhibition currently taking
place at the Barbican in London.
The artists have uploaded their own digital artworks to a website and
have placed location markers within the DevArt exhibition itself --
digitally fencing it off, so that only visitors to the Barbican can
access the artworks on their smartphones or tablets.
The DevArt exhibition is meant to be an exploration of art that has been
made with code, but it has not chimed well with everyone involved in the
digital arts community, many of whom have been displeased by various
elements of Google's efforts. On the Hack the Artworld website the
artists have published an open letter addressed to Larry Page and Sergey
Brin laying out their objections in full.
