Course Description:

This course welcomes students with a basic knowledge of TouchDesigner(TD) who would like to apply it to create immersive and interactive art installations. The goal is to reach an intermediate level by developing and expanding your TD skills through creative practice.

We will take a hands-on approach, using the DBL (Digital Bauhaus Lab) as a sandbox for experimental audiovisual work.

This seminar follows a horizontal peer-learning model; therefore, active participation from all students and commitment are expected.

Your grade is based on three assignments: 1) In-Class Assignment 2) Midterm Assignment: research five (5) artist references that will inspire your art installation, and 3) Final Assignment: create an immersive and interactive art installation for the Summaery26 exhibition.

For the final assignment, you have the option to work in groups on a collaborative installation at the DBL, or alternatively, to work individually on a semester project developed within your Projektmodul.
