@aral I fundamentally agree, but there are two questions here which will not be answered on twitter- what is art; and what is ACE for?

@davidblandy Indeed; far better discussed over a glass of wine :) -
@aral Sounds like a great idea ;) -
@davidblandy I’m in town all week, hit me up when you’re free. Will DM you my number.

@aral I see the art in coding, painting, rapping, video game playing, mass protest, poetry... But only some will get Arts Council support -
@davidblandy@aral we certainly see the art and creativity in coding, hence our funding for#bdf2013,#geek2013, Happenstance etc. -
@jon_pratty I’m sure some do :) I just saw yet another project speaking of creative/technical art/code as mutually exclusive. +@davidblandy -
@aral@davidblandy@seb_ly We can't speak for other projects, but#shortcircuit is strategically funded to be diverse, to blur boundaries -
@jon_pratty And, as I told@SarahPickthall, it sounds like a great initiative—my comment was on positioning/wording. +@davidblandy@seb_ly

@aral Sadly I don't think many decision makers in the arts have a strong enough understanding of code or it's value/beauty.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral The arts council are focussed increasingly on "engagement" (ie. a numbers game) and they see digital engagement as a means...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral agree, but are you referring to a specific programme / article, or just the general rhetoric?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral: I wish the arts council would stop exploring ways to pair ‘artists’ with coders and start seeing the artistry in code.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
