Hi Laura.
It is a pleasure to have this impressive list of references.
Here is a thought most closely related, maybe, to Roger Malina's idea you cite...that live coding facilitating interconnections among art, science, and technology.
As an artist teaching myself, mid-1990s, how to code, it occurred to me some very obvious things (in retrospect)
1. that coding was a representation.
2. that the processes being encoded were representations too...."registrations" at the level of the machine, plus objects in the RAM-space of the computer constituting an invisibly communicating network.
3. that layered "on top" of these were the bitmapped representations of what the viewer would see.
4. that opening up the viewer to interactions could be an embodied different form of represention.
Which was the "real", intended representation?
The final insight for me, in my struggle to just wrap my head around coding, was the realization that a representation could be a matter of cross-referencing.
In other words, in a situation of ever-proliferating, multiple representations of the "same thing" ((a singularity?)), forms of human reception are reconfigured as processes of cross-referencing.
A set of cross-references is my understanding of what a "real" representation is.
That is why I was so excited to see the emergence of code performance, such as TopLap collective's code performances in the early 2000s. Their performances gave the audience a clear passage to the act of cross-referencing as perceptual know-how.
Representation emerges through process of cross-reference. Cross-reference is a process dependent on perceptual know-how of the audience.
