Few of the people on a dancefloor want to be reading text; they want a
mood, a beat, and colors and flashing lights that speak the same message as
the music. Ideally, I think, the same network of data and instructions
that generates audio would generate visuals, so that changes in one domain
would map naturally to the other.
It is excellent that the livecoding community make their code available,
because it lets knowledge snowball. But making the code available does not
require making it the visual focus of a presentation.
