the hub coded with the audience able to wander around their terminals
I heard a report of someone live coding to a monitor positioned near them,
or even placed in the centre of the audience while they sat on stage, and
we've discussed it on this list in the past, but I don't remember who did

I had to turn my laptop to the audience after (mentioning no names) messed
up the dual projection of Nic vs Nick at NIME and crashed (mentioning no
particular commonly used program). But the screen is too small even for
people right near the stage I think.
best,
Nick
