Combination of technology and art

Is that a Soda up your sleeve? Focusing on technology and art together Generator X is touring Norway at this moment so if you are in Aalesund any time from the first of april as of this Saturday until may the 14th you can experience technology and art together.

Here is an article focusing on the art of software programming. Why is this so hard to master? Is software development a craft or is it an engineering dicipline? In this article the author makes you aware of many similarities between writing code and writing a novel!

"The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures."
