"Even though we have a large number of coders, they are mostly concentrated in the IT sector and not in the cultural space per se. What we're going to do is take data from the CSMVS that, for instance, can be 20 images of Krishna paintings, and hand them over to the teams of coders. Then we'll make them aware of the cultural context and they can then proceed to create a game or an app," senior programme manager Amruta Nemivant explains.

The second season of the event will be led by Christian Lölkes of ZKM and the winner stands to receive a cash prize of R40,000. Nemivant adds, "The coders don't have to be professionals, they can be students as well. They only need to be open to what we're saying."
