SUMMARY:NODE SESSION I
DESCRIPTION:Organised by The NODE Institute\, and supported by Derivative\, B-dome and PlusPlusOne\, the NODE SESSIONS continue the legacy of the TouchDesigner Roundtable—broadening the focus beyond a single platform to explore the full spectrum of creative software workflows. These sessions serve as a dynamic meeting point for artists\, developers\, and designers passionate about experience design\, creative coding\, and interactive media art. Anyone curious about the future of digital expression—and the minds shaping it—is warmly invited to join. \n\n\n\nOur inaugural session takes place inside the B-dome\, a 19-meter-wide geodesic dome designed for fully immersive 360° experiences. Equipped with a state-of-the-art negative-pressure projection system and six 21K Panasonic projectors\, the dome surrounds visitors with striking visuals and a rich 5.1 surround sound environment. Within this inspiring space\, we’ll hear from a trio of voices in the world of audio-visual performance: \n\n\n\nTarik Barri\, renowned visual performer turned toolmaker\, shares the journey behind co-developing videosync—a live visuals plugin for Ableton—and offers insight into the evolution of his creative process. \n\n\n\nTamara Knapp\, a visual artist and designer\, will share her exploration of the interplay between nature and technology through experimental\, research-driven visuals\, and discuss how she applies this approach in her interdisciplinary teaching. \n\n\n\nLukas Ruoff\, VJ artist and member of the Ungrid collective\, presents his approach to integrating TouchDesigner into the design curriculum at HTW Berlin\, highlighting a recent fullDome project created in collaboration with his students. \n\n\n\nTo conclude\, we warmly invite all meetup attendees in Berlin to showcase their content on the Dome – whether pre-rendered or live! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nticket to join the live session in Berlin:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNODE SESSION TICKET :10 – 25 EUR\n\n\n\n\n\nOr watch the stream for free on YouTube:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nyoutube.com/live/PIiDRwsgtTk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19:00 UHR / 7:00 PM / DOORS OPEN\n\n\n\nJoin us early for some good networking and lovely encounters.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19:45 UHR / 7:45 PM / Yasmin Yael Elias Sanchez\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYasmin Yael Elias Sanchez\, manager of the BDome in Berlin\, will share the journey of how this unique project—originally conceived and operated for years in Madrid—found its new home in Berlin.

SUMMARY:Beginner : Sequence Shows and Installations in TouchDesigner
DESCRIPTION:We all love TouchDesigner for the creative mess it allows us to create. Everything connects to everything and it’s easy to experiment in unforseen ways. However\, for every TouchDesigneur comes the moment\, where she/he wants to tame the creative chaos and get ready to perform a show on a big stage\, and suddenly one exiting patch is not enough. \nOr you have to make sure that this beautiful\, yet fragile interactive masterpiece of yours is working every day of the week from seven in the morning until eight at night. \nSounds frightning?  \nIn this two hour webinar\, Stefan Kraus will guide you through his Show-Control course and  explain how to setup up projects in an optimised and reliable way. \nWith a few simple tricks\, you avoid frame drops\, crahses\, jittering video playback and many other traps that can make show creation in a realtime environment challenging.  \nSequence live or automated shows and installations flawless and orchestrate lights\, projections and sound without hick ups and shameful moments of reboot.   \nStefan gives an overview of best practices and production proof patches that get you ready for the big stage as well as the daily grind in now time. \n			How does it work?		 \nWith your ticket\, you will get the access codes for a closed Zoom meeting\, in which Stefan will guide you through his Show Control – Create Shows in TD course. The course with more than one hour worth of video tutorials\, tips and tricks will be available for you online after the webinar. \nIf you miss the webinar – don’t worry\, the course will be open on here ever after. \nThe webinar will be held in Englisch. Questions are also possible in German. \n			Your host
