This talk explores human computer interaction through the design of programmable creative tools. Drawing on our work maintaining Strudel, a live-coded music system, we’ll examine how having absolute freedom over text interfaces enables more intimate and natural interactions. With a background in instrument making, we frame software as an interactive artifact meant to be tuned and learned through use engaging with a design space that hasn’t fully crystallized yet, where shaping your own environment becomes a playground for creativity.
