Sumario:The object of study in this work is the musical expression called Live Coding, developed by a group of computer artists, programming live music. The live coder establishs a dialogue in feedback with the programming language he uses in his performances, through the manipulation of live codes (on the fly). In this dialogue, an imaginative intervention that constitutes them as live coders takes place: hybrid language-artist are constituted at the moment of improvisation. The exploratory and experiential intention characterizes this techno–artistic practice. The artist and the software become one, they are confused, and the codes typed in that here and now are projected onto the body of the live coder, who carries them as a mask that covers them throughout the performance. In the present paper the live coder subjectivity is approached: as a computational artist, as an active agent that subsumes several roles in the same person, seeking to eliminate the barriers between those who create programming languages and  hose who execute music. We will analyze how, from the improvisation of algorithmic music, live coders build both their artistic expression and their self–understanding as programmers artists.
