Institute for applied
creative computation

The NODE Institute empowers the creative software community to share knowledge and grow. By hosting user meetups, workshops, webinars and online courses, the Institute functions as a hub for creatives at the intersection of art and technology.

Programming for Artists,
Designers and Performers.

Play today with the technologies that shape tomorrow. Visual programming makes interactive technology accessable to artists, designers and musicians.
Learn how to connect sensors, actors, music, lights, motors, 3D animations, projection mapping, lasers, particles, shaders, data bases and the internet into interactive installations and performances.

Learn vvvv

When talking about visual programming environments, vvvv stands out where you might hit limitations in other environments. Unlike others that restrict you to curated high-level node sets, vvvv allows you to extend its functionalities completely visually by essentially patching C# directly. This unparalleled flexibility means you can overcome obstacles and push your creative boundaries further than ever before.
