Damage Such is a collaborative live coding performance between Lina Bautista (Spain) and Timo Hoogland (Netherlands). During the performance the coders program electronic music together, from-scratch, with the language Mercury. They type together in the recently developed code editor named Flok, by Damián Silvani (Argentine), simultaneously editing the same code file. This requires them to listen closely and pay attention to what the other is doing before evaluating the code.

Lina Bautista (aka Linalab) is a musician, artist, educator and developer who combines modular synths, DIY electronics and computers to make music and engage audiences in the tech of sound. She is part of Toplap BCN and Axolot and teaches at universities in Barcelona. Timo is a computational artist, live coder, music technologist and educator. He livecodes algorithmic electronic dance music and develops generative audiovisual compositions and installations. He teaches at the University of the Arts Utrecht.
