Editing Generative art (section)

===Live coding===
{{Main|Live coding}}
Generative systems may be modified while they operate, for example by using interactive programming environments such as [[Csound]], [[SuperCollider]], [[Fluxus (programming environment)|Fluxus]] and [[TidalCycles]], including patching environments such as [[Max/MSP]], [[Pure Data]] and [[vvvv]]. This is a standard approach to programming by artists, but may also be used to create live music and/or video by manipulating generative systems on stage, a performance practice that has become known as [[live coding]]. As with many examples of [[software art]], because live coding emphasizes human authorship rather than autonomy, it may be considered in opposition to generative art.<ref name=McLean11>{{cite book |last=McLean |first=Alex |title=Artist-Programmers and Programming Languages for the Arts |year=2011 |publisher=Goldsmiths, University of London (PhD Thesis) |pages=16–17 |url=http://yaxu.org/writing/thesis.pdf |access-date=2012-08-21 |archive-date=2015-06-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610193445/http://yaxu.org/writing/thesis.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
