Live Coding: A User’s Manual by Alan Blackwell, Emma Cocker, Geoff
Cox, Alex McLean and Thor Magnusson, is a new book about the history
and culture of live coding, published by MIT Press and available open
access, both in paperback and as a freely downloadable ebook/pdf.
Live Coding: A User’s Manual is the first comprehensive introduction
to the practice and a broader cultural commentary on the potential for
live coding to open up deeper questions about contemporary cultural
production and computational culture. This multiauthored book—by
artists and musicians, software designers, and researchers—provides a
practice-focused account of the origins, aspirations, and evolution of
live coding, including expositions from a wide range of live coding
practitioners. In a more conceptual register, the authors consider
liveness, temporality, and knowledge in relation to live coding,
alongside speculating on the practice’s future forms.
