This paper applies Gilbert Simondon’s relational ontology to the artistic practice of live coding. I examine how Simon-don’s concepts of individuation, transduction, metastability, and transindividuality illuminate live coding as a processthat enables multiple entities (code, sound, performer, audience, and technical environment) to undergo simultaneoustransformations through shared memories and mutual encodings. Simondon’s concept of transindividuality providesa powerful lens for understanding how live coding creates a complex interrelation between individual participationand collective experience, revealing the simultaneous unfolding of interior psychic structuration and the emergenceof collective meaning. Building on these theoretical perspectives, I analyze traditional live coding methods and pro-pose a novel approach using SCTweets as algo-sonic individuals in dynamic feedback networks, where techniques ofself-modulation, hetero-modulation, and coupling create complex systems with emergent behaviors. This frameworkreconfigures the relationship between creator and sonic artifact, allowing musical manifestations to occur outside an-thropocentric intention while providing a reflexive distance to experience both humanity’s innate technicities and thehuman presence latent within algorithmic structures.
