The epistemological survey of live coding through the guise of it being artistic research was a particularly eye-opening exploration of this medium for me. I appreciate these readings, as they help us place live coding – a relatively new practice – in broader contexts and conversations regarding media, art, technology, music, and culture. Live coding existing as a paradigm and a way of thinking at the intersection of all these goes to highlight the novel experimentalism of this language the author highlights. The discussions regarding improvisation, “making mistakes” and play during live coding as forms of experimentation, help me start seeing how we might approach this practice as a live band improv jam/open jam rather than a carefully rehearsed orchestra performance (a mindset I had been approaching this with).
