This was the night everything came together and I felt complete. This was the reason I started doing all this and moved to Berlin almost 5 years ago. To express myself musically and visually with no boundaries in any dimension. All live generated and performed by me, true to the essence. To be the part of the creation of this system and then perform under it at my second home is an experience I am forever grateful for, thanks to @ledpulse @organysmo @monopolberlin and many many more for that. Filmed by @stefano.canavese 🎥 Watch the full performance on YouTube, link in bio!

By @aka_chang | Like Dew And Like Lightning Final three days of the exhibition, plus a special performance this Friday. Like Dew And Like Lightning aka_chang Berlin solo show Behind the scenes of RING: Kosmologia (Monopol Berlin Ver.) During the development process, we experimented with some colors. In the end, the piece was presented in its most minimal palette, but it reveals a strong potential for color within the piece.

I set an ambitious goal while working on the installation of @aka_chang and I kind of achieved it, but hope to refine it more in the future! Inverse kinematics + laser mapping in @touchdesigner with support of @laseranimationsollinger #touchdesigner #newmediaart #laser #artinstallations

Had the privilege to work on the system for this amazing kinetic and laser installation by @aka_chang in my second home @monopolberlin with support from @laseranimationsollinger @joseealarcon @lit.amin You can still see it for a few days with special performances tonight! @touchdesigner as always and forever P.S. I cannot stress enough how crucial it is for all new media light artists to own a 360 camera #touchdesigner #generativeart #newmediaart #artinstallation #immersiveexperience

To celebrate my 33rd birthday 🎂 my new single "Feed the Monster" is out on all streaming platforms (link in bio)! This is the duo bootleg version with my friend @josephjamesfrancis on 🥁 in @castalianspring , full video also in bio. It felt so fulfilling to make visuals for my music again - was not even planning on it, and dished it out under a night fueled by inspiration! Huge shoutout to @matterform.xyz 's motion blur component in @touchdesigner 🤍 #generativeart #newmediaart #audiovisual #musicvideo #trippy

Let's cook rice in @touchdesigner and IRL 🍚! Live stream project breakdown will be announced soon on my Patreon (public) and project files and components shared (for supporters). LINK IN BIO, or write a comment RICE to be notified! There's a lot to learn in terms of POPs, render passes, T3D (@josefpelz ) , POPX (@_mini_uv ) + MediaPipe (@blankensmithing ) and post effects (motion blur by @matterform.xyz and depth of field by @ovvo.studio ) for achieving a polished look, so I'm excited to share more! Also @bitwig to resynthesize rice samples was a very fun part of the process! #touchdesigner #generativeart #newmediaart #audiovisual #cgi

Looksmaxxing hot and steamy rice 🍚 - from seedling to cooked using @touchdesigner POPs! My goal was to achieve a good degree of realism, which required multiple render pass compositions and some material blending tricks (hard to see on IG but they are more shiny when cooked!). Each grain is generated unique and blend between different forms as per @polyhop tutorial! Motion blur from @matterform.xyz is a must have for all, as well as the old but gold depth of field component by @ovvo.studio . As an extra flair we have subtle steam thanks to T3D of @josefpelz , and my POPs particle based steamy glass window look with droplets running down 💧 Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see some tutorials how I got all this together, it's quite a process!
