Whilst DeviantART does contain many users who are programmers, there is no official code gallery. Submitting code as art has thus been stunted, and this group has been setup to encourage users to think more about code as art, to submit programming art pieces, and to help DeviantART officially recognise code as art.

~CodeIsArt recognises that code can be art, although doesn't have to be all the time, just as much as asking for a cup of sugar, isn't poetry.

This is a serious effort to help programmers share their knowledge that programming can be an art form, one that requires meticulous attention to detail and creative flair. There is a massive programmer community here, who keep a hidden talent locked away because deviantART does not provide an appropriate arena for them to air their art, and get suitable recognition & critique.

What can you do?

• Create art! If you're a programmer, and have never considered submitting any programming related art, this group is here to support recognition of the art form. Send us your works, or any recommendations to feature / favourite.


• Add any one of our stamps to your Journal (subscribers only), or to your Favourites / facebook / myspace &c.


• Join the discussion! Here, or on the forum thread, or in any of the programming works of art


• Meet other programmers at the chatroom #CodeIsArt
