In pursuit of the best quality education for visual programming, we have curated a range of learning experiences for beginners and intermediate users of TouchDesigner and VVVV.
Our weekly online sessions, led by seasoned instructors, are structured to help you acquire valuable skills that can complement your work and studies. The Beginner classes are available as a comprehensive package, while Intermediate modules can be purchased either as a bundle or individually.
After an exciting season, we are very motivated to bring back even more Creative Masterclasses. These courses, led by experienced artists, are project driven and provide a guided design process that not only leads to a real world application, but also to an in-person meeting meeting with your instructors, course mates and our partners. A unique opportunity to set foot in an industry that isn’t easy to enter in the first place.
All our courses are designed to work live
just as well as recorded!
Don’t worry if you’re unable to make it to any or all of the live lessons; the recordings will be available online the following day, complete with extensive learning resources. If you encounter any challenges along the way, our instructors will be there to assist you through our exclusive Discord channel.
No matter what your preferred learning style is,
we’ve got you covered!
