Exhibiting creative coding projects in galleries or museums

Exhibiting your work in a gallery or museum often requires careful planning and coordination. Here are some tips:

“Creative coding is not about mastering a tool or a technology, but about using code as a creative medium to express ideas and explore new forms of art.” - Casey Reas

You can exhibit your work in galleries or museums that showcase digital art or interactive installations. Many galleries and museums have a dedicated digital or new media art program that may be interested in showing your work.

New Media Art Programs

Many galleries and museums have programs specifically dedicated to new media art, which can include digital and interactive installations made with creative coding. Some examples include the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Germany, and Ars Electronica in Austria.

Group Shows

Many galleries and museums host group shows that focus on a particular theme or medium, such as digital art or interactive installations. Submitting your work to these shows can be a great way to get exposure and connect with other artists and curators in the field.

Solo Shows

Some galleries and museums may also be interested in hosting solo shows of your work, especially if you have a body of work that fits with their programming or mission.

Juried Exhibitions

Juried exhibitions are competitions where artists submit their work for consideration, and a panel of judges selects the pieces that will be shown in an exhibition. Some juried exhibitions, such as the ACM SIGGRAPH Art Gallery, specifically focus on digital and interactive art.

Art Fairs

Art fairs such as Art Basel or Frieze may also be a good venue for exhibiting digital or interactive art, as they attract a wide range of collectors and curators.

Keep in mind that exhibiting your work in a gallery or museum often requires careful planning and coordination, as well as an understanding of the logistics involved in setting up and maintaining a complex installation. It may be helpful to work with a curator or installer who has experience with digital and interactive art to ensure that your work is properly presented and installed.
