Asynchronous evergreens
Asynchronouse video courses are suited perfectly to offer students a structured learning path through their lessons in a self paced style. We are constantly adding new courses, often topics where we see users struggling with.
This workshop is for interaction designers who work with the visual programming environment vvvv. The online workshop by Seb Escudié will introduce you to tools enabling you to leverage machine learning capabilities in your own vvvv patches.
30 vvvv workshops. 90 hours of learning. Brought to you by the most experienced vvvv instructors and the vvvv developers. Recorded at NODE20 Forum for digital Arts.
This free introduction gets you started with the visual programming environment and flattens the learning curve considerably.
You will learn how to build a custom volumetric lighting system in TouchDesigner from Lucas Morgan, the creator of GeoPix.
Wieland Hilker shows how to ingest data from web APIs. Useful to integrate blog posts, weather data or tweets in your TouchDesigner projects.
Carlos Serrano will demonstrate how Notch and TouchDesigner complement each other when you combine them.
ABOUT
The NODE Institute aims to provide a home for the visual programming communities.
We work together with the Frankfurt based NODE Forum for Digital Arts and provide continuous learning opportunities between the festival editions.
We are dedicated to the exchange of knowledge and inspiration. We organise workshops and webinars and host user meetings for the VVVV, TouchDesigner, Cables and other creative communities in our studio in Berlin and worldwide through online participation of the same.
We connect educators with students, clients with experts, problems with solutions.
Let’s be honest. If you do what we do, you do it because you love it. And that’s what makes it so rewarding to meet likeminded people that dedicate their talents to explore the borderlands of art, technology, performance and programming.
To enjoy each others company, to share inspiration, to come up with new projects, to help each other out and to chat about something completely different.
We enjoy facilitating these encounters, live in our studio in Berlin and worldwide.
Our mission is to complement the great wealth of user generated tutorials with an organised learning path suited for professionals.
As a platform we connect students and educators in a way that benefits both.
Educators can spend more time on creating learning materials and help students when they get paid.
Students will be able to aquire certificates, backed up by industry professionals that actually mean something when looking for a job.
United we stand, divided we fall.
We don’t believe in competition. We believe that great talents will want to create great work together and make a living. That works better together than against each others.
Call us hippies if you want, but we want to contribute to a world where people respect each others work and viewpoints and help each other to grow. Where people think critically about the state of the world, their work and our common future.
