Introduction to Real-time Audio-reactive Visualizations in TouchDesigner

[ ] Key Software / Tech to be taught

Touch Designer

[ ] Workshop Description

TouchDesigner is a node based visual programming language for real time interactive multimedia content, developed by the Toronto-based company Derivative. It's been used by artists, programmers, creative coders, software designers, and performers to create performances, installations, and fixed media works. This cluster will cover the introduction & basic features of TouchDesigner to make various interactive projects. The participants will work with input sound & video to visualize it with real-time effects in 2D and 3D. The output through this process would be a set of algorithmic art and coding art outputs expressed in an interactive visualization format and can be learnt by any designer, coder, musician, or anyone with a creative bent.

The workshop is suitable for any designer or creative individual wanting to explore a new way of visualizing through audio -video to create interactive animations and visualizations. The software is a visual node-based programming tool and is easy to grasp for anyone without any prior experience in programming.
