TouchDesigner Meetup - Talks, Open Visuals & Live Electronic Sets

Not For Sale Gallery, London, United Kingdom
In person

Join New Media LDN for our next TouchDesigner Meetup, an evening of artist talks, creative experimentation, open visuals and a live electronic set. Whether you’re new to TouchDesigner, use it professionally, or are simply curious about real-time and audiovisual art, come along to meet the community, discover new work and share what you’ve been creating. Artist Presentations We’ll start the evening with two presentations from artists working with TouchDesigner, sharing their projects, creative processes and ideas. Special Guest - AMIANGELIKA We’re delighted to welcome AMIANGELIKA (@amiangelika, https://amiangelika.com/) as our special guest for this meetup. An award-winning, London-based new media artist, her practice spans audiovisual live performance, interactive dance, immersive installation and generative visual systems, exploring how technology shapes perception, memory and systems of belief. Through sound, image and light, she creates shifting environments that move between instability and order, intimacy and distance, and light and shadow. During her presentation, AMIANGELIKA will introduce her practice and share an insight into the ideas, processes and interdisciplinary approaches behind her work. If you’d like to take part in a future presentation, please submit your work through our Open Call Form. Open Visuals - Bring Your Work After the talks, the gallery opens up to you. Bring your laptop and project your visuals onto the walls of the gallery. Share a TouchDesigner project you’ve been working on, test an experiment, show something unfinished, or simply play with visuals alongside other artists. No formal presentation needed and no pressure to show finished work. Open Visuals is about experimenting, sharing and creating together. Other visual tools and creative coding practices are welcome too. Live Electronic Sets While Open Visuals take over the walls, we’ll have live electronic music throughout the networking session.
