20 GOTO 10 was an art gallery in operation from 2008 to 2012, founded by Christopher Abad in San Francisco, California, United States.[1]
Its name is a reference to the traditional looping 'Hello world' program written by beginner programmers.[2] It featured both traditional and "hacker" art, with an emphasis on technology as art, or exhibits which make the potentially criminal or unethical aspects of computer security accessible to the public.[3] [4]
It received more prominent vlog,[5] blog,[6] [7] [8] and print news coverage[9] when Kevin Olson displayed the first ever American showing of ANSI art in a physical art gallery. Jason Scott Sadofsky, creator of the BBS Documentary expressed interest[10] in the custom LCD scrollers based on a Parallax chipset with a custom ANSI scroller to VGA output written in SPIN made solely for the ANSI gallery show.[11]
The gallery was located at 679 Geary Street in San Francisco, and was defunct at this location as of Summer 2012.
