Yes, Larry Cuba presented GRASS and animations made with it at Seeing Sound last year. He showed a video that included live coding by Tom DeFanti.
I was quite blown away. Larry, I think, was just hearing about live coding for the first time there, and realising that they'd been live coding in the 70s.
There are probably people all over the world who will recognise that they've been live coding in the past if the concept is introduced to them.
Are there examples of people live coding analog and mechanical computers?
