Live Coding - Resilience and response hosted by Roxanne Harris “alsoknownasrox”

Session 3 : October 7th 7:30PM - 8:30PM (BST)

In this workshop, Roxanne Harris (alsoknownasrox) will introduce her practice of live coding- a performance approach where music and visuals are created and transformed in real time through writing code. Drawing on her background in computer science, music, and design, Roxanne will share insights into how coding can be used as a tool for improvisation, collaboration, and resilience in creative work. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at her process, explore themes of transparency and response in algorithmic art, and be invited to engage in a short, accessible interactive exercise to experience the principles of live coding for themselves. No prior coding or music experience is required — just curiosity and openness.

Artist Bio: Roxanne Harris “alsoknownasrox” is a new media artist-researcher and musician-programmer based in Los Angeles. Embracing programming as an artistic medium, she parameterizes on-the-fly, pushing the boundaries of improvisational dexterity within computational limitations. Her work invites audiences to engage the creative process as it unfolds, embracing vulnerability and exploring speculative futures through algorithmic transparency.
