6 online lesson at 3 hours + 3 days in person in Berlin / in English Language.
This two-part masterclass with Simon Rydén (aka Supermarket Sallad) invites artists, designers, and creative technologists to explore immersive content creation for full-dome environments using TouchDesigner.
Chapter 1
Foundations of Dome Creation
From Generative Visuals to Audio-Visual Dome Experiences
Chapter 1 – Foundations is an accessible introduction to dome projection, offering three online lessons that provide essential skills for navigating hemispherical geometry, projection systems, and real-time generative workflows—including POPs for procedural, dynamic visuals. Open to a broad audience, this part equips participants with the foundational knowledge needed to create immersive content.
- Three 3-hour online lessons
- Affordable and accessible, open to a broad audience
- Focus on dome geometry, projection specifics, and real-time generative strategies using POPs
- Prepares participants for Chapter 2
- Beginner friendly
Chapter 2
Case Study B-Dome Berlin
From Idea to Delivery
Chapter 2 – Case Study is an intensive, personal project study for 16 participants. Through guided mentorship, studio time at The NODE Institute in Berlin, test screenings at B-Dome Berlin, and a structured workflow, participants develop their own audio-visual dome pieces.
The process is designed to move participants out of experimentation into a result-driven production workflow, helping them realize complex, high-quality projects without the risk of failure. While real-time techniques are explored—highlighting their relevance for live immersive performances—the course produces rendered AV content, allowing the work to be shared and showcased beyond the live dome setting. Participation in the Case Study is limited, ensuring tailored guidance and individual support.
- Three interactive online lessons + three days on location in Berlin
- Intensive mentorship, studio time, test screenings, and final presentation
- Structured guidance transforms concepts into presentation-ready AV dome projects
- Limited to 16 participants
