It is most prominent as a [[performing arts]] form and a [[creativity technique]] centred upon the writing of [[source code]] and the use of [[interactive programming]] in an [[improvisation|improvised]] way. Live coding is often used to create sound and image based [[digital media]], as well as light systems, improvised [[dance]] and poetry,<ref>Magnusson, T. (2013).

The figure of '''live coder''' is who performs the act of live coding, usually "artists who want to learn to code, and coders who want to express themselves"<ref>{{cite web|last=Bell|first=Sarah|title=Live coding brings programming to life - an interview with Alex McLean|url=http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/blog/live-coding-brings-programming-to-life-an-interview-with-alex-mac|accessdate=2 March 2016}}</ref> or in terms of Wang & Cook the "programmer/performer/composer".<ref>Wang G. & Cook P.

A number of research projects and research groups have been created to explore live coding, often taking interdisciplinary approaches bridging the humanities and sciences. First efforts to both develop live coding systems and embed the emerging field in the broader theoretical context happened in the research project Artistic Interactivity in Hybrid Networks from 2005 to 2008, funded by the [[Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft|German Research Foundation]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160303215643/http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/muwi/c10/index.html</ref>
Further, the Live Coding Research Network was funded by the UK [[Arts and Humanities Research Council]] for two years from February 2014, supporting a range of activities including symposia, workshops and an annual international conference called ICLC.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FL007266%2F1|title=Live Coding Network|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date
