Hello,
~CodeIsArt is a new group wanting to promote programming as an art form, here at deviantART. There are many, many programmers here at dA, but as deviantART has no official Code gallery, submissions have been stunted, and many people would not think to publish programming as art simply because the general populace may not understand.

~CodeIsArt is here to recognise programming as an art form and allow programmers to come together.
There is a good discussion on the whole topic of 'is code art?' going on here [link]

This suggestion is to ask DeviantART staff to provide a Code gallery for us to submit programming art in a recognised location. :)

There are some kinds of codes already allowed. Journal CSS, program skins and themes, and program extensions/plugins. There are categories for all of them.

Coding in the form of software won't be allowed. FAQ #227: Will deviantART ever allow the submission of software?

That FAQ covers the submission of download-able, compiled Software, which is not code, and could contain viruses. This is my submission of code as art [link] and is perfectly acceptable.

And as I said, there are already accepted coding categories.

No there are not. I was unable to place my piece in any appropriate categories and had it moved to scraps by dA until they recommended the screenshots gallery as the only viable place for this piece of art. I do not find that an acceptable category for my art. Please try either viewing my art properly, or submitting your own programming art.

That's because yours wasn't one of the types with categories available.

Fwoosh! There we go, full circle.

Well, probably because coding isn't an art. (At least in the same fashion as sculpture, painting, etc.)

ps: Don't spam your club, please.

It certainly is an art. There's an endless number of ways you can do any one thing in code, and like every other form, there are people that are horrible at it, and people that make some of the nicest looking code around.

There are an endless number of ways I can pick my nose. Does that make it an art?

You really aren't too good at this discussion thing, are you?
