NMC and Dadageek [Workshops]: Real‑Time 3D for Immersive Art with TouchDesigner

Join composer and interdisciplinary artist Hannah Spector for an evening of deep listening. Developed by pioneering composer Pauline Oliveros, deep listening is a practice of expanding your awareness through sonic contemplation. Listeners are invited to slow down, soften their attention, and experience sound as a way of connecting more deeply to themselves and their environment.Throughout the evening, Spector will perform a live instrumental score for their 7-channel video installation, if you stare at a cowboy&#39;s face for long enough it turns into a sunset. Performed twice, on the hour, the score combines synthesizer, field recordings, tape loops, live voice, and improvisation. Each iteration will shift slightly. Between performances, listeners can hear the installation with its original recorded soundtrack.Filmed over 5 years in West Texas, the immersive installation explores landscape, myth, and the poetics of place. The desert is not a void, as it is so often depicted, but rather an active landscape with vibrational subtleties that reward deep listening, deep looking, and deep care. Hannah Spector is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, poet, and educator. They think of language as a solid object&mdash;a concrete and spatial expression that can overturn limiting perceptions of the everyday.Spector has shown their work at Transformer Gallery (DC), The CAM Perennial (TX), Stoveworks (TN), The Katzen (DC), and Women and Their Work (ATX). Spector&rsquo;s short films have won prizes at Dumbo Film Festival, Berlin Short Film Festival, and Bodega Film Festival. They have completed residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2024), Stoveworks (TN), and MoHa (ATX).They are an Assistant Professor of Time &amp; Technology at UT Austin and a member of the artist collective MASS Gallery. They curate the communal deep listening project, MASS Ambient.

Bandcamp calls his music &ldquo;sizzling experimental electronic, alternatively dissonant and tuneful.&rdquo; Working with Internet-ripped audio, field recordings, and personal samples, he combines Musique Concr&egrave;te with modern digital processes through hardware samplers and software manipulation. Recent album QUADRANT (March 2025, Old Technology) documents a quadraphonic live performance in Austin. Co-curates monthly series Artifact. Featured in The New York Times, VICE, FACT, and The FADER. Performed at Art Basel Miami, CURRENTS, and across North America. <br style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">PULSECODER<br style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(248, 249, 249); font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(33, 35, 40); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Kyle Evans&rsquo; electronic music project crossing deep modular synthesis with chaotic digital glitch.

dadalab + NMC Presents NEW MUS XII: New Immersive Audio Performance

New Media Contemporary is excited to collaborate with @_mxr_3d to bring this hands-on workshop to Dallas! MXR is a no-code real-time 3D engine designed for performers, designers, and visual artists who want to create responsive 3D visuals without scripting. Perfect for beginners with no coding experience, or VJs and video artists already working in Resolume, TouchDesigner, Blender, Unreal, or Unity looking to level up with live 3D and AI-powered workflows. This workshop is your gateway to building visuals for concerts, Projection mapping, XR stages, virtual production, and immersive art installations. Build real-time scenes using 3D assets, particle systems, and custom shaders. Map MIDI controllers to animate visuals on the fly. Master integrating protocols like Spout, OSC, and DMX. Create audio-reactive 3D environments and explore live AI-generated visuals that respond to performance in real time. Eric Wagliardo is a Creative Director and Technologist who builds futuristic landscapes where immersive media seamlessly enhances the physical world. With over 23 years of experience at top agencies like Droga5 and MediaMonks, he is the founder of &amp;Pull and MXR, a real-time 3D design tool for live events. MXR&rsquo;s technology has powered visuals for the iconic Quasar stage and major artists including Barry Can&#39;t Swim, Deadmau5, and Kaskade. Eric&rsquo;s portfolio also includes the world&rsquo;s first multi-user AR music app for Childish Gambino and large-scale kinetic installations for Matt Damon&rsquo;s Water.org, launching Coachella Island in Fortnite, bringing broadcast AR to Coachella&rsquo;s Main Stage and an AR exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. What&#39;s Included: Your $30 ticket includes a free MXR license. You&#39;ll leave with the MXR software, a complete project file, and the skills to build your own systems.
