Recontemporary presents a two-day workshop curated by Davide Santini (Deltacut), focused on the unlimited potential of TouchDesigner, software for real-time creativity and experimentation for live and interactive performances.
In the total 12 hours, numerous topics related to an intermediate use of TouchDesigner will be addressed, of which at least a basic knowledge is therefore required.
