TouchDesigner as Method The same enquiry is then carried into TouchDesigner, where the memory objects are broken as point clouds: images dissolved into pixel grids, each particle’s position on the z-axis driven by the image’s own brightness values. The result is a slowly pulsating, as if breathing, images given depth and time. Three interface buttons […]

We can see the difference when graphic design as a discipline is applied in this way, compared to when it is geared towards commercial means. There seems to be a shift in style and […]
