Art and code are definitely compatible, and there is certainly a market for digitally curated / created art.
If you want to create art, spend time exploring and educating yourself. Learn what you like, what you find interesting and what you feel is worth exploring.
There are quite a few people who seem to be making money in these fields, via commissioned works - one that spring to mind is Robert Hodgin [1]/[2].
There are also galleries which specialise in 'digital art'. I know of one in particular in Berlin [3].
There are blogs which cover digital and emerging forms of art. [4] [5]
I've only just scratched the surface .. there's a LOT that's definitely worth exploring.
