Intro to Touchdesigner: Creating Interactive Visuals for Performance: In this hands-on workshop, Trish introduced participants to basic nodes in Touchdesigner, a powerful tool for creating real-time interactive visuals. Particpants explored how motion and sound can be transformed into dynamic digital art using a camera, a projector, and a laptop. The workshop was designed for beginners and anyone curious about merging art and technology in their creative practice. During the live musical performance after the workshop, participants were able to use the techniques learned and have an opportunity to join Nicole’s improvisational dance accompanied by musician Diego Melgar.
