In the case of visualisation, shouldn't the actual code be used? I think it
would make sense to use the exact images that would be send to the projector
in a live situation.
What would be most interesting to me (but hard to realise) would be a DVD
using multiple angles. One angle would be a (or several) video cameras aimed
at the performer, the other would be a exact copy of the stream fed to the
projector.
This would remidy the main problem (at least to me) with the online clips I
saw so far of livecoding performances; you can get some idea of the
atmosphere but the screen can't be read.
I imagine this would demand either one or several events that would be the
livecoding equivalent of those parties punk bands have to record the
material live. DVD seems like a perfect (if hard to realise) medium for
this, multiple audio streams could evenbe used to switch between a direct
feed from the computer and a microphone recording.
Just some impulsive cents from me...
Yours,
Kas.
