Google asked artists to prove that code could be beautiful with its DevArt competition, and hundreds delivered on that promise. However, there can only be one winner: The Metamorphosis of Mr. Kalia, a visual poem from Cyril Diagne and Béatrice Lartigue. The project lets you use your body movement to control Mr. Kalia as he undergoes strange, symbolic transformations throughout his life.
Mapping a dream as it navigates through your brain using G+APIs. Exploringmetamorphosis through storytelling in the form of a poetic adventure with Chrome Apps and Compute API. Travelling through a playful giant map that explores fantasy and reality on a huge scale using Map API. Creating music through the touch of your finger on a simple piece of wood using Android. These are just a sample of the hundreds of projects we received after inviting the developer community to express themselves creatively as part of DevArt. We were looking for a unique idea which mixes art and code and pushes the boundaries, to be featured in the Barbican’s Digital Revolution exhibition, opening this summer in London and from there touring the rest of the world.
