About this Course

There can be no doubt that the internet is the most important medium of our days. Learn how to use data from Web APIs in your interactive installations or performances. 

Wieland Hilker will guide you through the process of content acquisition from open Web APIs. Once you understood the basics, you can integrate social media posts, weather data or tweets  in your TouchDesigner projects. This workshop will explain basic concepts that help you to move on by yourself, not just simple recipes that work for only one website.
