Abstract:<br>
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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We document various implementations
of this research and their contributions to a new
audiovisual authoring environment, <i>Gibber</i>,
designed to improve immediacy in creative coding.<o:p></o:p></p>
