  :       20 goto 10 is a reference to the basic programming language. its :
  :....   found  in  a  simple  program  that  repeats  forever, typically :
      :   printing only one  message indefinitely.  beyond that  i have no : 
    : : : coherent goal.  i am lost, trying  to familiarize  myself with a :
     :::  landscape that i know little about.  20 goto 10 is not really an :
      :   art gallery. maybe its a science fair or a research project, but :
          im sure  that it  has a  door, white  walls, a front  window and :
          people.                                                          :
                                                                           :
          i grew up in san francisco, and  then around california. i never :
          had much to do  with art as i knew it. im  from the internet, or :
          really  the hacking scene as  it were. art to me was  found in a :
          clever  way to  randomize integers,  circumventing a  captcha or :
          a 0-day buffer overflow. the closest to visual art  that i would :
          typically see was a nice ansi scroller, a website defacement, or :
          a 4k demo.  all of which  count, but have  never as  of yet been :
          seen in a gallery.                                               :
                                                                           :
          after a while i  started noticing a  huge change in  the hacking :
          culture.  everyone  started getting jobs.  all the  16 year olds :
          seemed to have  grown up and stopped  sticking it to the man and :
          soon became  the man, or at least corporate schmuchs working for :
          him.  at least we didnt  have a work  dress code  but even  that :
          started to fade.  i realized that  i was just  sitting  behind a :
          desk, clicking  away at nothing.  i was a corporate  nobody, and :
          to some extent i still am. but im trying to change that.         :
                                                                           :
          i used  to enjoy  presenting at  all the  computer security  and :
          hacking conferences, but i recently became really fustrated with :
          the fact that people would either  present content that now only :
          applied to the current  security industry, or  even if  they had :
          new and  interesting ideas, then  the audience, now  made up  of :
          security professionals, didnt really care because it didnt apply :
          to their job. all real creativity had been stomped out.          :
                                                                           :
          so why "hello world" ?  because "hello world" is the  name of  a :
          computer program by brian kernighan, one of the inventors of the :
          c programming language.  its used as the very first introductory :
          example in teaching c, and many other programming languages. ive :
          named  my  first  opening "hello world" because  it is  my first :
          attempt at truely starting in a  new direction  and i look at it :
          as learning  a new language.  now  im looking to a new community :
          to try and share the culture, ideas  and history that i once had :
          enjoyed with the hacking community but now do not.               :
