I'm still torn on this. The openness and expressiveness of shared/projected code is the element that drew me into seeking out livecoded performance, and subsequently performing myself. However I still feel like in some instances I'm not enhancing anything by exposing the code to the audience, although I suppose it's a little different for someone working just on the visual side.
In some contexts it might even be a negative thing: if I'm livecoding visuals at a chiptune night for example, the audience aren't expecting a mash of code constantly overlaid on top of visuals, and would potentially assume there's something wrong! I was asked "why" with regard to the exposed code quite a few times at SuperByte recently, which was quite interesting I thought.
