Livecode.NYC is a New York City-based artist collective devoted to the real-time programming technique called livecoding as a methodology of artistic expressions. Our members include artists, engineers, actors, designers, educators, musicians, game developers, and writers. Our leaderless collective has no formal membership or hierarchy; anyone is welcome to join, attend, participate in, and host algoraves.

Livecoding and Algoraves (algorithm + rave) are global movements. Where traditional music and visual production processes are effectively opaque, a key component to livecoding is transparency, displaying the code and interfaces that produce the sights and sounds the audience experiences in real time. Some guiding principles of our community include: Exposing algorithmic processes, challenging established institutions, collapsing hierarchies, respecting other communities, equitable diversity and inclusion in lineups and audiences, and making space for experimentation and failure.
