# Open Programming Documentary Series 'Hello World!' Explores Creative Options by Open Source Tools By Simal Yilmaz | Published 2013-03-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programming-documentary References: [we-make-money-not-art](http://we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2013/02/hello-world.php) & [helloworlddocus.wordpress](http://helloworlddocus.wordpress.com/) 'Hello World!' is a three piece programming documentary series that focuses on [open source programming languages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/code-presentations), namely Processing, Open Frameworks and Pure data. People are increasingly grasping the importance of understanding coding, as well as the exponential advantages it brings to their creative work. The collaborators of this project explain that their documentaries "explore the role that ideas such as process, experimentation and algorithm play in this creative field featuring [artists, designers and code enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hofa-gallery)." Knowing provides empowerment to the artists. Humans are at point in time where they have to explain to each other the opportunities that are at their disposal, because we haven't all fully adapted to the rapid technological evolution just yet. The areas these documentaries touch upon range from [interactive large-scale installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-and-design-miami) to visuals for clubs, hacking, interaction design to screen-based works. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Open Source Programming Languages:** As more people see the advantages of coding, utilizing open source programming languages like Processing, Open Frameworks, and Pure data can lead to new opportunities for collaboration and creativity. - **Creative Coding:** The exploratory nature of coding in the creative field, including process, experimentation, and algorithms can bring about new and innovative forms of art and design. - **Interactive Art Installations:** The diverse range of applications for open source programming languages include creating large-scale installations and screen-based works that encourage audience interaction and participation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology:** Developers and tech companies can release open source programming languages and build communities around them to encourage creative collaboration within their industry. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new opportunities for integrating coding and technology into art and design can lead to innovative and interactive installations, products, and experiences. - **Education:** Including open source programming languages in art and design curriculums can help students learn more about the creative possibilities of coding in their field and promote a culture of collaboration in academia. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Software Engineering Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineering-newsletter.md) - [Open Tech Learning Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaginary-hub.md) - [Inspiring Women-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-science-is-everything.md) - [AI-Powered Social Media Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-drive-reveal.md) - [Technology Connection Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codecraftchaos.md) - [Cross-Continental Beer Brewing Documentaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-is-art-campaign.md) - [Introductory CS Textbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-book-for-kids.md) - [Hands-On Modern Educational Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-educational-system.md) - [Practical Practice Coding Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skillreactor.md)
