Creative code by various authors is reused, remixed and repurposed in an audiovisual live coding performance. The limitless aesthetic possibilities of combining openly published code snippets are harnessed in experimental, improvisatory and playful modes. The performance engages with SuperCollider tweets and Hydra sketches composed by various creative coders who are cited on screen. The practice paves the way for the development of commons-centric ecosystems that are supported by Distributed Ledger Technologies, manifesting a communitarian turn and bringing closer a social reality based on digital commoning. The computerized visuality and musicality of the authors are entangled and liquidated through serendipitous encounters with digital glitches and non-linear exteriorizations.
