Iโ€™m so excited to launch this three-part Master Class on Hand Tracking in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe ๐ŸŽ‰.

This course will help you create your own interactive artworks and even extend hand tracking to build custom interfaces. Excited to see what you create!

Powered by @blankensmithing.bsky.social's Mediapipe plugin for #touchdesigner this little voice and motion reactive forest keeps on giving. Looking forward to wrapping up the case study next month that outlines the larger research project. ๐Ÿ™

Genuary Day 6 Prompt: Make a landscape using only primitive shapes.

Point clouds are still primitives :). Got to dig into some photos that I took during an unforgettable backpacking trip I got to do this summer in the Dolomites with @mischa_the_bear.

Genuary Day 4 Prompt: Black on Black.

What about a double exposure? Iโ€™ve been wanting to work more with physical media, so I explored Black & White on Black & White for this piece.

The film photography effect is all created using #TouchDesigner

I still remember getting to see the I/O brush in person visiting @fusteta and how much of an impact it had on me.

Genuary Day 2 Prompt: Layers upon layers upon layers.
โ€จI wanted to re-create the I/O brush from the Tangible Media Group at the Media Lab for this experiment. Itโ€™s pretty wild that itโ€™s possible to create something close to the original as a day experiment.

Genuary Day 1 Prompt: Vertical or horizontal lines only.

For the new year, weโ€™ve been doing some metal working with the family, so I wanted to add in some stop motion with some foley recordings in the metal shop.
