"DevArt is a new type of art", "DevArt is the opportunity to open their creative process, share their art with the world and be a part of a new movement in art."

Why are they pretending to have invented this? Net art (or whatever you want to call it) has been a thing since the 90s, Rhizome has plenty of early examples (http://rhizome.org/artbase/)

Display hacks are one of the oldest forms of code. TMRC was hacking them together even before the PDP-1.
