The article explores the connection between software engineering and art, focusing on how artists use software in their work. The researchers aim to improve collaboration between artists and software engineers by creating a knowledge base at this intersection. They investigate questions about the relationship between art and software, the development process of software-dependent artwork, and ways to enhance collaboration between artists and software engineers. Through systematic reviews and a case study, they identify research issues and develop a conceptual framework for this field. Key findings include understanding the software development process for artwork and the potential for borrowing concepts from the arts to improve computing.
