September 25 2026 – 7 PM
On 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.
The roundtable features talks from Talile Citha, Simone Franco (Unveil Studio), Jonas Margraf and Hilary C/B, founder of 90mil Radio, introducing 90mil and its broadcast platform.
From 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.
If you can not attend the in-person event in Berlin, do not worry — we will stream the talks on our YouTube channel.
19:00 UHR / 7:00 PM / DOORS OPEN
90MIL
90mil 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.
Spread 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.
At 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.
Please 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!

HILARY C/B (90MIL RADIO)
Hilary is Creative Director of 90mil Radio, the broadcast and network platform of 90mil — the Berlin venue and community hub for intermedia arts hosting this roundtable. She’s a multimodal artist, researcher and curator by background, working across composition, performance and sound.
At the roundtable, she’ll introduce 90mil and 90mil Radio: a space and broadcast ecosystem for under-represented, experimental and emergent sound, language and time-based work, built to weave community through both real and decentralised exchange — and how it connects artists, makers and authors across and beyond the arts.

SIMONE FRANCO (UNVEIL)
Simone (Unveil) is a Berlin-based technologist who spent four years running the entire show-control pipeline at THE REED, unifying the venue’s systems into a single real-time TouchDesigner workflow. Now freelancing as Unveil Studio, he’s built award-winning installations for Coca-Cola, UNESCO, ZKM and the Schlosslichtspiele, and has recently been shipping his own tools — including Unveil_webGUI and clothPOP, a GPU-accelerated cloth simulation plugin for TouchDesigner built in C++/CUDA.
At the roundtable, he’ll walk through some of the stranger things on his GitHub and talk about “vibe coding” as a mode of expression — going from idea to finished result with AI as a collaborator, using a real-time raytraced render turned into a shop piece as the example.

21:20 UHR / 9:20 PM / TALILE CITHA
Talile is a Berlin-based visual artist and VJ working in TouchDesigner. Her work spans interactive installations and immersive live visuals, regularly collaborating with Studio 1111, the Potsdamer Straße venue with its 270-degree wraparound projection setup.
At the roundtable, she’ll walk through a selection of events she’s created visuals for, showing how each one calls for a different approach. She’ll share how she creates TouchDesigner setups inspired by the music, crowd, and setting, whether it’s for a techno club night, an indie rock concert, or a brand event.
22:00 UHR / 10:00 PM / Jonas Margraf
Jonas is a Berlin-based media artist, composer and technologist, formerly TouchDesigner Team Lead at Berlin studio WHITEvoid. His work spans creative development, art direction and production for large-scale audiovisual work.
At the roundtable, he’ll present PRECESSION, a kinetic audiovisual installation built in collaboration with Lucas Weidinger that was recently shown at LA18 Foundation as part of Berlin New Media Week’s BYOB Plug and Play.

ANTONIA ANGEL + TALILE CITHA
YUNA FLEIG
PAULINE KESS
Antonia and Talile are Berlin-based visual artists and VJs working in TouchDesigner, creating live visuals and video installations for clubs and stages. For their VJ set, they will combine dynamic video input with hard contrasts, glitches, and feedback effects, creating an atmosphere that shifts from dark and punchy to cinematic and dreamy.
Yuna is a Berlin-based motion designer, art director and co-founder of Ungrid, a live visual collective crafting reactive tools and workflows for club and festival performance. Her own visuals lean into immersive, audio-reactive environments, blending organic movement with digital abstraction into a soft, dark, melancholic atmosphere.
Pauline is a Berlin-based VJ and co-founder of Kollage Kollectiv, building with salvaged street electronics and patching TouchDesigner the same way she connects soldered hardware. Her live sets drive visuals straight off audio input, drawing on her background as a dancer to explore the body as an interface between physical and virtual.
