Andrew Sorensen's TEDxQUT talk, in which he live-codes music using the Extempore programming environment. He writes and changes code while it is running, so the code becomes the performance.

HN people point to it as the best example of live coding as performance art and as an introduction to Extempore.

“You could also look at livecoding - they treat coding as a performance art”
