Organised by The NODE Institute with support from Derivative, PlusPlusOne and Monopol Berlin, the NODE SESSIONS return for their third edition at one of Berlin’s key venues for light and media art. The sessions bring together artists, developers, and designers working in light art, creative coding, and interactive media—an open invitation to connect and exchange ideas. It’s our pleasure to welcome Jimmz Zhang, co-founder of the TEA community and Digital FUN, Michael Sollinger, founder of LaserAnimation Sollinger, and Katharina Geiger, Head of Operations at MiMU, each bringing unique perspectives on interactive media, laser technology, and the creative potential of wearable instruments.

Here is the 31st vvvv worldwide meetup on November 20th, 7pm CET, hosted by The NODE Institute. This is the meetup for creatives and developers using the visual programming environment vvvv and its visual language VL. Join us IRL or online with artist presentations and announcements in the vvvv community.

The NODE Institute teams up with Echoes of Earth to bring India its first TouchDesigner Sessions at THE SIXTH SENSE festival in February 2026, Bengaluru. Set in a 5 decades old glass factory, the program—curated by The NODE Institute—offers beginner and advanced workshops, panels, and deep dives into immersive media, data visualization, lighting, AI, and live visuals. This collaboration connects India’s creative coding community with the world, fostering skills, innovation, and new possibilities in immersive art and technology.
