The full recording is above. Join us for the next one: TouchDesigner Roundtable XXXVIII on October 29\, 2026 at NLND\, Berlin. \n\n\n\nOn September 25\, 2026\, The NODE Institute joins Pollen\, 90mil Radio’s day-into-night festival marking two years of transmission. Alongside fellow contributors Spatial Media Lab\, Berlin Modular Society\, Kollage Kollectiv and Burre Crew\, The NODE Institute hosts the 37th edition of TouchDesigner Roundtable Berlin — its recurring gathering for the visual programming and creative coding community. \n\n\n\nThe roundtable features talks from Talile Citha\, Simone Franco (Unveil Studio)\, Jonas Margraf and Hilary C/B\, Creative Director of 90mil Radio\, introducing 90mil and its broadcast platform. \n\n\n\nFrom there\, Talile carries the conversation straight into the night’s visuals\, joined by fellow Studio 1111 resident VJ Antonia Angel\, alongside Yuna Fleig (Ungrid Collective) and Pauline Kess (Kollage Kollectiv)\, running the main floor from midnight to 4am — part of a night spanning over 50 international artists across live electronics\, sound and intermedia arts\, audiovisual installations\, deep listening sessions\, curated dancefloors and cinema. \n\n\n\nMissed it? Watch the full recording on our YouTube channel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19:00 UHR / 7:00 PM / DOORS OPEN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n90MIL\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Credit : 90MIL\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Credit : 90MIL\n\n\n\n\n\n90mil is a temporary urban regeneration project near Jannowitzbrücke\, Berlin\, where a derelict site has been transformed since February 2023 into a multidisciplinary space for creation and community. Run on a donation basis with public access at its core\, it operates as the club house of The Palace Collective — part venue\, part workshop complex\, part living room for the city’s underground scene. \n\n\n\nImage Credit : 90MIL\n\n\n\nSpread across a project space\, black box theatre\, ceramics studio\, movement space\, radio room\, wood and metal workshop\, and a garden built for bonfires and sculpture alike\, 90mil brings interdisciplinary and experimental practice into constant\, unplanned contact. Its stage has hosted grassroots collectives alongside internationally touring names\, and its Radio Room is home to 90mil Radio\, a broadcast platform for artists exploring unconventional and cross-disciplinary work. \n\n\n\n\nImage Credit : 90MIL\n\n\n\nImage Credit : 90MIL\n\n\n\n\nAt its core\, 90mil treats access and exchange as method — prioritising concepts\, artists and organisations that are interdisciplinary\, community-focused\, and often under-represented elsewhere\, with no one turned away for lack of funds. Knowing its home is temporary only sharpens that mission: to platform the unexpected while the space exists at all. Within its walls\, musicians\, artists\, activists\, makers and audiences meet across a programme where no two events look alike\, opening a shared field for skill-sharing\, mutual support and ideas that move freely between disciplines and communities. \n\n\n\n90mil.berlin/about \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: entrance to POLLEN Festival is donation-based (10 EUR suggested)\, and since the festival doubles as a fundraiser\, we kindly ask you to give what you can. Access to POLLEN is required to attend the Roundtable! \n\n\n\n\n\nReservation (free)\n\n\n\nPlease reserve your free spot. If you do not check in at the venue until 7.30 pm on the day of the Roundtable\, your spot will be made available to the folks on the waitlist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporter Tickets\n\n\n\nWant to support our work?

In this Roundtable\, Patrick will be sharing his recent research project on neural network-driven parametric control for generative visual systems\, where AI functions not as an image generator but as a real-time controller of procedural visuals. Using TouchDesigner with a custom machine learning model trained on motion capture data from Lengger dancer Rianto\, the system interprets the movement data and maps it to the generative process\, creating a fluid\, dynamic visual representation of the dance’s expressive motion. Lengger\, a traditional Indonesian dance\, is known for its fluid representation of gender\, where male dancers embody feminine roles while imagining an intangible\, non-binary presence within the performance. This research seeks to translate this concept into a dynamic generative visual system that visually reflects the fluidity and expressiveness of the dance.gold.ac.uk/computing/people/hartono-patrickinstagram.com/patrick_hartono \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19:00 UHR / 7:00 PM / FLORENCE TO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlorence To is a Scottish-born artist and director with Hong Kong roots\, specialising in acoustic scenographies and audiovisual installations that interrogate architectural spatial design. Trained in textiles and tailoring\, To merges these disciplines with digital technologies to reimagine abandoned spaces\, utilising their inherent flaws. Their practice explores cognitive and emotional triggers\, sensory perception\, and the interaction of frequencies as vibrations\, psychoacoustics\, and phonetics. Currently pursuing a research master’s at Goldsmiths’ Centre for Research Architecture\, To’s work examines bird migration\, grey zone warfare\, and electromagnetic frequency (EMF) disruptions\, focusing on their intersections with ecological and geopolitical displacement. This research critically informs their artistic practice\, challenging boundaries between scientific and creative domains. To has worked with the Photonics group at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory in Portugal\, investigating light detection and wavelength propagation\, and has been commissioned by international institutions such as Mass MoCA in Massachusetts and EMPAC (Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center) in New York.florence-to.cominstagram.com/florence.to \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20:00 UHR / 8:00 PM / Pauric Freeman: STRUCTURES (LIVE AV)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPauric Freeman is an Irish artist whose practice explores sound\, technology\, and perceptual experience through audiovisual performance and installation. Focusing on the intricate relationships between sound and image\, he programs visual systems that experiment with new forms of audiovisual expression\, recontextualizing how audiences experience sound in both live and installation contexts. By merging art and technology\, his work offers fresh perspectives in audiovisual composition. Recognized for its unique approach to visualizing sound\, Pauric’s work has been exhibited and performed in a wide range of venues and festivals across Ireland as well as in Europe\, North America\, and Australia. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists\, and his work continues to investigate how technology\, sound\, and moving images can engage with new experiences in contemporary media art.Structures is an audiovisual performance that explores the interplay between sound and image. Composed for modular synthesizer\, drum machine\, and a custom-built generative system\, the work uses data from the synthesizers as material to understand the music composition. Drawing on influences from early computer graphics and generative art\, the performance maps information like pitch\, rhythm\, and amplitude\, to parameters within the visual composition. Each track examines a different approach to this mapping\, exploring multiple structures between sound and image.pauricfreeman.cominstagram.com/pauric_freeman \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe TD Roundtable LONDON is being supported by:\n\n\n\nDerivative / derivative.caThe Computational Arts program at Goldsmiths\, University of London /www.gold.ac.uk/pg/ma-computational-artsIKLECTIK / iklectik.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGoldsmiths University\, Hatcham Church HallChurch Hall\, St. James’sLondon\, SE14 6ADUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\nPublic Transportation:Southern : London Victoria URL:https://thenodeinstitute.org/event/touchdesigner-roundtable-london/ CATEGORIES:Events,Meetup ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thenodeinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/TouchRoundtable_LONDON.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250221T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20250223T180000 DTSTAMP:20250121T111716Z CREATED:20250113T221108Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250121T111716Z UID:33268-1740160800-1740333600@thenodeinstitute.org SUMMARY:TouchDesigner Weekend TORINO DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 21stTouchDesigner Roundtable Torino (FREE)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganised by The NODE Institute\, the TouchDesigner Roundtable serves as a dynamic gathering for creatives and developers exploring the visual development platform TouchDesigner.

Big news this time around\, they will be hosting their meetups on the last Tuesday of each month\, so keep an eye out for their newsletter. \n\n\n\nThe goal for this meetup is to bring people in the field of spatial media together to connect and discuss\, hoping to grow the quality of the work and expand the tools that are created. As this meetup is non-hierarchical\, SML will simply host the space and discuss what participants are working on and then let the the night flow. If you have something you’d like to present\, please reach out to SML in advance! \n\n\n\nThe theme of this meetup is From Zero to Spatial. We want to hear from you how you start a spatial audio project. \n\n\n\n\nWhat DAW do you use and why did you choose it?\n\n\n\nWhat plugins/tools do you use?\n\n\n\nHow do you approach a new project?\n\n\n\nAt what point do you start thinking about spatializing the audio?\n\n\n\n\nThese questions\, and more will be address in the discussion. It’s a great opportunity for folks that are new to spatial audio to learn as well as those more advanced to share their knowledge\, tips\, and tricks. \n\n\n\nWhen? It’s happening on Tuesday\, 22.08.2023 at 7pm (19:00) Berlin time. \n\n\n\nWhere? This month we will host this meetup digitally in Gather.Town.
