Models, diagrams, and sketches on a corner of a table are all useful tools for planning and reflecting on a work before its installation. But artistic installations that require technology are sometimes difficult to imagine without tangible models! Lighting, projection, screens, speakers, or the presence of human beings within an installation require a lot of space and imagination. In addition to technical preparation, which is costly and requires a lot of equipment, digital installations are prone to bugs and surprises upon their arrival in the performance space. Since the cardboard model reaches these limits, we must adapt it to our own medium and create a digital model! By learning the basics of the nodal TouchDesigner software, this software training offers the opportunity to create a digital model by integrating these different technologies.


Using 3D models, lights, and cameras, we will virtually create your installation as a prototype, allowing you to assemble the technological components of your work. In addition to previewing your installation, this digital model will act as a tool, a visual and schematic aid for organizing your work. Touchdesigner is a visual programming software in the form of a network of nodes. It ensures communication between all kinds of different signals, which is its strength and allows it to be used across multiple platforms. Whether it’s web, data, sound, video, or even light, Touchdesigner interweaves all these different channels to connect them together according to your needs. Among other things, it allows you to create audio-reactive videos or easily control the lighting of your work based on the audience’s movements.


This training will introduce you to generative 2D and 3D visual creation, explore communication between different data channels (sound, DMX, MIDI), and finally create a digital model of a digital and media art installation.


The necessary equipment is provided for each participant.
