A CHANCE TO SEE YOUR WORK ON THE LONDON UNDERGROUND
The V&A has commissioned Karsten Schmidt to design a digital identity for the Decode exhibition using open source code (video above). We are giving you the opportunity to recode Karsten’s work and create your own original artwork. If we love your work it could even become the new Decode identity.
You can download and interact directly with the source code, but you do not need to be an expert coder, as Karsten has also designed a graphical user interface. For full instructions and downloads go to theDecode Google code page which also has a detailed user guide written by Karsten.
