The ReCode Project is a community-driven effort to preserve computer art by translating it into a modern programming language (http://processing.org).

Every translated work will be available to the public and contemporary artists to learn from, share, and build on.

That's cool. I think my first computer-related job was circa 1984, when I worked for Vera Molnar and her husband. Some of her art is in that archive, but there's more at http://www.veramolnar.com/diapo.php?y=1984.

All I really remember is being asked to draw triangles on the screen; an amazing interactive computer graphics simulation of a beach that let one adjust sun position and wave direction with knobs; and that I don't think I was ever paid; I don't really mind.

Wonderful initiative. Everything CC-licensed, code on Github. Cool!

Just wondering why they don't use Processing.js so you can view the works in the browser.

Very cool stuff here , thanks for sharing.
