In case anyone else is looking for a livecoding counterexample, here's a beauty:
"The intervention of fugitive is to present a mode of interaction
which is predicated on the system interpreting a person engaged in
normal human bodily behaviors. This is in stark contrast to the
conventional notion of interface, in which ideas and concerns must
be encoded, usually as alphanumeric data, demanding the sequential
pressing of little buttons on a board. This ut[t]erly impoverished
interface functions, in fact, as a filter, excluding all rich and
diverse aspects of human intelligence which cannot be encoded
alphanumerically."

Apparently programming (and writing novels) is an impoverished
interface compared to jumping about in front of a camera!
Anyone know any other good anti-livecoding quotes (unwitting or otherwise)?
