Organised by The NODE Institute, the TouchDesigner Roundtable serves as a dynamic gathering for creatives and developers exploring the visual development platform TouchDesigner. It also welcomes anyone intrigued by the world of interactive media art and the innovative minds shaping it.
This time, we visit our friends in Italy and host the TouchDesigner Roundtable at RKH Studio in Turin. We can’t wait to hear from Andrea Dipa about the TouchDesigner scene in Italy and their own creative journey with the visual programming environment. Markus Heckmann, Technical Director at Derivative, will introduce us to POPs, the new operator family that opens up a whole Pandora’s box of possibilities for data-driven design. Meanwhile, Interaction Designer and Educator Nima Gazestani will share what keeps him up at night…
This Roundtable TORINO is part of a three-day program—including workshops, concerts,and networking events – organized by RKH Studio and Gamma Music Institute,and The NODE Institute.
