Developing Software-Dependent Artwork: Artist and Software Developers' Collaboration

Software-dependent artwork is on the increase as software use expands into every part of our lives. Sometimes artists develop this style of artwork by themselves, but more commonly they seek help from technologists, creating an opportunity for artists and software developers to collaborate. This paper presents the experience of a real-world collaboration through a case study of the development of a software-dependent artwork where students were the software developers.
