Title: Immediacy in Creative Coding Environments


Committee:

Abstract:
We often face impediments to the realization of creative and productive 
work. These impediments take many forms, social, temporal and technical, 
and any effort to ameliorate them has the potential to further creative 
output and afford a more satisfying degree of personal expression. This 
dissertation examines strategies for removing such impediments by 
considering immediacy to be the primary concern informing the design of 
creative coding environments. We examine immediacy as it relates to the 
execution of artistic works as well as the social aspects of creative 
production: publication, browsing of prior work, consulting with peers 
and collaboration. We explore high-level abstractions and 
meta-programming strategies as a mechanism for simplifying the creation 
of audiovisual mappings, user interfaces and signal processing graphs in 
an effort to remove barriers between conceptualization and realization. 
Although prior literature argues that creative coding is best served by 
domain specific languages, we argue that our research augments the 
expressiveness of general purpose programming languages and obviates 
much of the need for domain specific solutions.

We document various implementations of this research and their 
contributions to a new audiovisual authoring environment, /Gibber/, 
designed to improve immediacy in creative coding.
