Live Notation: Transforming Matters Of Performance / quote 1 of 3

Code as a medium for improvisation

Programming language source code underlies almost all digital technology. The emerging practice of Live Coding brings source code from technical craft to live performance; a shift from the idea of the computer program as a tool, towards the idea of computer code as a medium for live interaction and improvisation, opening new avenues for human creativity.

A program is not its code, process or algorithm

we agree with Irmak that we cannot identify a program either with a code, a process, or an algorithm. The reason is that this view conflicts with common…

Code is not necessarily an artifact

In the light of these observations, a code is not necessarily an artifact. If we acci- dentally delete a line of code, the result might still be a computer…

Different codes, same algorithm

A code implements an algorithm. Following Irmak [8], we take here an algorithm to mean a pattern of instructions, i.e. an abstract entity, a sort of process…
