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:

  1. How to create interactive and audioreactive 2/3D animations
  2. How to build custom interfaces
  3. How to perform your AV creations through MIDI and OSC
  4. How to output your creations to screens, projectors and files

Skill Level: Beginners

This class embraces participants of all genders, sexes and orientations who have little experience with (visual) programming and want to learn more about it. We think creative coding should be fun for everyone!
