I’m so excited to launch this three-part Master Class on Hand Tracking in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe 🎉.

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. 🙏

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? I’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.

I wanted to re-create the I/O brush from the Tangible Media Group at the Media Lab for this experiment. It’s pretty wild that it’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, we’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.
