Dive into the world of generative and interactive visuals with TouchDesigner, guided by Bileam Tschepe (aka Elekktronaut), a seasoned audiovisual artist and educator. This beginner-friendly course is designed for artists, designers, and creative technologists eager to explore new media, audio-reactive visuals, and immersive installations.

Under Bileam’s guidance, you’ll gain the confidence to generate dynamic visuals, connect different types of data, and experiment with audio and interactivity in your projects.

The course emphasizes practical learning: you’ll develop your own sketches and projects, receiving personalized feedback and support along the way. You’ll also explore how TouchDesigner handles 2D and 3D content, work with audio signals, and discover the principles behind interactive systems, giving you the tools to bring your ideas to life.
