The NODE Institute

The NODE Institute Institute for applied creative computation. Visual Programming for Artists, Designers and Performers. Play today with the technologies that shape tomorrow.

The NODE Institute empowers the creative software community to share knowledge and growth. By hosting user meetups, workshops, webinars and online courses, the Institute functions as a hub for creatives at the intersection of art and technology. Learn from experienced professionals, collaborate with like minded creatives or become an instructor yourself? It is our mission to accelerate the exchang

e of knowledge inside the community and open pathways for new members. Visual programming makes interactive technology accessible to artists, designers and musicians. Learn how to connect sensors, actors, music, lights, motors, 3D animations, projection mapping, lasers, particles, shaders, data bases and the internet into interactive installations and performances.

This Wednesday, we invite you to the first of two online lessons focused on the brand-new DMX POPs workflow and how to leverage it for interactive light sculptures and festival stages.

Learn how to build custom control and performance software that brings together lighting, video, lasers, LiDAR, and more in TouchDesigner.

Based on the iconic Banyan Tree installation that premiered earlier this year, Stephen Bontly shares the complete lifecycle of such projects, from the initial idea to final ex*****on.

Benefit from rare insights that will not only jump-start your DMX workflow, but also offer a glimpse into the often opaque processes behind large-scale interactive artworks.
