About exhibition

This exhibition takes an unusual approach – treating source code as the central exhibit, not merely as contextual material. Source code, beyond its technical purpose, holds rich layers of meaning. It can reveal the intentions of its author, reflect the historical, social, and cultural context of its creation, and even express personal style, creativity, or aesthetic choices.

Opens in

The exhibition aims to display a diverse range of voices and perspectives – including scholars, practitioners, scientists, activists, artists, and more. A call for contributions has been distributed and there were many received proposals. The exhibition committee selected fifteen contributions, covering three thematic axes.  Source Code as Historical Testimony, Source Code as a Mirror of Society, and Source Code as Cultural Artifact.

Source Code as Historical Testimony

Source Code as a Mirror of Society

Source Code as Cultural Artifact

Through this variety, we hope to illustrate the many dimensions through which source code can be understood and appreciated. The exhibition is intended as a starting point to foster engagement and discussion around the place of source code in society, and around the challenge of encouraging interaction with it beyond its technical aspects.
