2026

Welcome to another season of quality education in visual programming and experience design!
We offer a curated selection of learning experiences for beginners and intermediate users of TouchDesigner and vvvv.

The TouchDesigner Intermediate Class, led by Nima Gazestani, builds on top of the successful Beginners Class and and returns with refined content. This structured, consecutive 8-week learning experience covers essential advanced topics and serves as the perfect next step after completing the beginner course.

The VVVV Beginner Class, led by Rosi Grillmair and Gabriela Gordillo, has been streamlined to focus on playful experimentation while learning the core concepts of visual programming and real‑time graphics.
With the new VVVV Intermediate Foundations, we introduce a dedicated second step in the vvvv learning path. This course deepens the conceptual groundwork and also works as a strong standalone option for users with prior experience.

TouchDesigner Pro Modules offer focused, in‑depth knowledge designed to save you countless hours of research. Experienced instructors guide you through both technical and artistic topics to help you build skills and confidence efficiently.

An Immersive Creative Masterclass combines solid online Foundations in Content Creation for Immersive Spaces with an in-person Case Study at Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig.
