Mobile Art && Code

Art && Code was an event series and educational conference dedicated to the democratization of computer programming for artists, young people, and the rest of us. In November 2009, Art && Code continued the successful workshop/lecture series with MOBILE ART && CODE: Mobile Media and Interactive Arts – a symposium on the aesthetic and tactical potentials of mobile, networked and locative media. The three-day event featured intimate, practical, arts-oriented programming workshops for popular mobile platforms (such as the iPhone, Android, Nokia Smartphones, Arduino, SMS, and Asterisk PBX systems) along with an all-day series of free lecture presentations that contextualized the use of these technologies in a variety of contemporary critical, artistic and design practices.
