This three-hour workshop will introduce the node-based programming environment TouchDesigner for creating real-time audiovisuals. The session will begin with a brief introduction to TouchDesigner's interface and core concepts, followed by a demonstration of my own work created with the platform. Participants will then learn hands-on techniques for mapping data and creating interactive controls for live performance, with a focus on particle systems manipulation.
