Live coding is an embodied, sensorial and live technological–human relationship that is recursively iterated through sonic and visual outputs based on what we argue are kinship relations between and through bodies and technology. At the same time, and in a familiar moment of déjà vu for feminist scholars, live coding is most often discussed not in relation to the lived and sensory human–technology kinship, but in terms of fetishised code or software, output and agency. As feminist scholars have long argued, emphasising and fetishising code or software, and celebrating output and agency are normatively masculine, white and Western conceptions of technology that feed into the growing valorisation of accelerationist logic whilst also negating embodied, not to mention other (non-white, Western, masculine) bodies, expertise or histories per se. In this article, we want to redress this by drawing on our empirical material on live coding to focus on human–technology kinship and, in so doing, think about failure, slowness and embodiment and about human–technology relations that are more akin to what Alison Kafer (drawing on the work of Donna Haraway) has termed ‘becoming with’ or ‘making kin’. This, we argue, has the potential to shift the focus from the potentialities of technologies on or through the body, towards the generative capacities of mediation (including failure), which are caught up in lived experiences. The question is not only about how the relations of bodies and technologies are played out in certain circumstances but about what might be played out if we reconceptualise these relations in these terms.

实时编码是一种具体的，感官的和实时的技术-人之间的关系，它根据我们认为是身体与技术之间以及通过它们与身体之间的亲属关系，通过声音和视觉输出来递归地迭代。同时，在女权主义学者熟悉的déjàvu时刻，人们通常不讨论与真实的和感官的人类技术血统有关的实时编码，而是根据恋物癖的编码或软件，输出和代理来进行讨论。正如女权主义学者长期以来所争论的那样，强调和迷恋代码或软件，以及庆祝产品和代理是规范性的男性，白人和西方技术观念，这些观念既促进了对加速主义逻辑的日益重视，又否定了具体化，更不用说其他（非-白人，西方，男性）的身体，专业知识或历史本身。在本文中，我们希望通过利用有关现场编码的经验材料来解决这一问题，以关注于人类技术的亲属关系，并以此来思考失败，缓慢和体现，以及与技术之间更类似的人与技术之间的关系。艾莉森·卡弗（Alison Kafer，借鉴唐娜·哈拉威（Donna Haraway）的作品）被称为“与之相伴”或“结缘”。我们认为，这有可能将重点从身体上或通过身体的技术潜力转移到调解的生成能力（包括失败），而这种能力已被生活经验所束缚。问题不仅在于在某些情况下如何发挥身体与技术的关系，而且还关乎如果我们以这些术语重新概念化这些关系会如何发挥作用。
