A LivecoderA is a woman* who arrived to code to use it as a weapon, a song, a dress. Looking to society, she decided to create a different possible future for it through its most potent element: culture.
I care about eating, doing art, fucking, sleeping and coding.
A LivecoderA, with some or a very few privileges, made a life route through patriarchal hostility. This LivecoderA is fully aware. Each space gained is an opportunity to subvert logic, to weave ties, to implant love.
A LivecoderA is a code worker (which is never neutral) who has to fight for her rigths on several spaces. Daily she faces different types of gender violence (symbolic, psychological, economical, physical, sexual), but she debates them in order to mend it collectively.
Live coding was born from the meeting of two subcultures: that of hackers and that of electronic music, with frequent references to rave culture. Even though the community sees rave culture as just one of the many components of live coding, the result is the perfect combination of the two: There are the ideals of knowledge sharing, the rejection of hierarchies, leaders and performance principles. Livecodera takes this to another level by creating a safe space for FLINTA* people in this context. A group consisting exclusively of FLINTA* offers group members a safe space in which they can develop their individual voices without running the risk of being overshadowed within the larger, male-dominated group.
We welcome allies of any gender in our audience! Show your support!
In this event we combine different techniques with live coding to create a unique experience.
