Hi Alex,
It's good to see this, as I've written a piece for that publication which
is more of a critique of open source monomania and only mentions
livecoding in passing. It brings things up to date well, and clarifies a
lot of the finer points of live coding - like the screen projection issue.
A few thoughts:
I'm not really sure what you mean by live electricity, in that the
electricity flowing through a computer running ableton is just as live as
supercollider - but I guess I'm over-analysing a poetic point.
Also, the software industry has gone quite a long way past formal design,
the latest fashion is agile development:
http://agilemanifesto.org/
Which has some interesting features from a livecoding POV.
cheers,
dave
