Livecoding Visuals in Chith

Livecoding is a performance practice with code as the medium. Since 2018, I have been exploring livecoding visuals, typically to accompany audio performed by Charlie Roberts (creator of Gibber) as part of our livecoding duo, Chith.

Livecoding lets me explore generative art in new ways that are tied to creative inspiration, ease of programming, and intentional vs. accidental visual aesthetics in generative systems. I’m currently doing this through creating visual “instruments” — highly parameterized, controllable, and recombinable visual elements for performing with in p5.js.
