NODE is a non-profit organization working in the field of creative coding, digital arts and design, an international platform for the critical reflection of technology and society and network in Frankfurt am Main and in Hesse.

Since 2008, NODE has been developing educational formats, organizing international artist exchange programs, conferences and commissioning cross-disciplinary artistic projects. NODE started as an analog gathering of an internationally distributed community of creative coders and developers of the visual programming language vvvv, turning into an organization for more holistic political, cultural, artistic, informatic and digital media discourses and education. NODE runs a festival for digital arts and creative technologies called NODE Forum for Digital Arts. The 6th edition of the Frankfurt festival was dedicated to the ecological dimension of new technologies and their use in art, the creative industries and design. The festival invites an international audience of professionals, artists and coders as well as an intergenerational general audience to critically examine their use of technologies, their professional practice and question the status quo of their industries.

NODE is also a recognized voluntary youth welfare organization in Hesse. Together with international media artists, we develop workshop and other project formats for young people that invite them to critically and creatively take apart or reinvent technologies. We organize the youth media art festival Digitale Welten and Jugend hackt Frankfurt, as well as various other projects for young people. We also develop educational programs for professionals in out-of-school youth work in Hesse.
