What is Live Coding?

Live coding is a performative practice where artists and musicians create sounds, music, visuals, and more by writing and modifying code in real-time, often projecting their screens to audiences. It emerged from the broader fields of computer music, creative coding, and algoraves.

From experimental music performances to visual art installations, live coding spans a wide range of creative expression that blurs the line between programming and art.
