Course target

TouchDesigner 102: Extreme 2 is a course  designed for artists, who are interested in generative and media art, VJing, audiovisual performances, and interactive technologies.

The course will provide a deeper exploration into 3D rendering, geometry concepts, and topics related to interactive interfaces.

It is a follow-up to the course
"TouchDesigner 101: Extreme"

Time proven approach ...

We believe that our course's approach to teaching TouchDesigner is unique and effective in that we provide our students with a hands-on learning experience that allows them to experiment and create freely..

Our course material is structured in a way that is easy to understand.

TouchDesigner 102

After completing this course, you will gain an understanding of the TouchDesigner approach for creating procedural geometry. You will be able to render 3D scenes, compose them, and grasp the basic concepts of creating interactive user interfaces.

After this course, you will know, how to use TouchDesigner to create procedural 3D scenes and interactive user interfaces.

Who is the course for?

This course is designed for artists who want to start working or advance their level of working with TouchDesigner, without relying on fragmented knowledge from YouTube tutorials and want to solid understanding of inner logic of this software, as well as for the newcomers who want to discover the inspiring world of generative art

STANISLAV GLAZOV

MEDIA ARTIST, EDUCATOR, COURSE AUTHOR

3D AND AUDIOVISUAL ARTIST WITH OVER 22 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND 20 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE

For more than 20 years, he has worked in light and visual art, seeking innovative opportunities where art and technology intersect. His installations and AV performances explore themes such as inner and social freedom, consciousness, identity, and loneliness in the modern world, using high-tech techniques.

Driven by his desire to create unforgettable experiences that inspire, he takes an individualized approach to each work, creating unique algorithms and synchronizing sound with visuals and digital shapes. He is also known for producing music with modular synthesizers and analog devices, influenced by industrial music, which combines noise, disharmony, and shamanism to take listeners on an intense emotional journey.

In 2013, he created his own generative design studio Licht.Pfad.

Creation of AV Performances in partnership with Dasha Rush, Robert Lippok

Performances at all the iconic festivals of the planet: Berlin Atonal, Mutek Montreal, Ars Electronica Linz, Unsound Festival in Krakow, Raster-Noton night in Berghain, Barbican London, Resonance Festival in Tokyo, Mira Festival Barcelona, L.E.V. Festival, Light Festival Lyon

Since 2016 - working on theater projects with Maxim Didenko, including the creation of media servers for various performances
