In this evening workshop media artist Stefan Kraus will introduce participants to the powerful visual development platform TouchDesigner and present best practices for its use to visualize data structures.

NODE is the home of the vvvv community and a dedicated playground for their needs. At the same time Node has always supported us to look beyond the borders of our own universe. This is why we recently decided to try new things and open up our workshop program to also new faces of the same field, new audiences and open minded people. We are looking for cross exchange with other communities to learn from each other and get better connected. This is why we started offering workshops also for other software tools which are relevant for the field of computational design, digital art and also relevant for technical integrations from one tools into another.

That is why beside the exciting new vvvv workshops programs we are offering now workshops from other software communiteis as well.

 

Data can be generated (for artistic purposes) or retrieved from various sources. This workshop will help you to take the next steps after you been to one of Stefans free introductions or have been playing with TouchDesigner all by yourself.

TouchDesigner?

TouchDesigner is a node based visual programming language, that was specifically designed to enable artists to create interactive programs without having to write a single line of code. This allows users to experiment with cutting edge technology, prototype interaction and explore the possibilities of digital creation.

The course consist of hands-on exercises, enabling participants to work on their own performances and provides useful links and prebuilt networks for further exploration at home.

In this workshop you will understand:
