Last month we paid a visit to MIT Media Lab to see what David Robert had been up to since arriving in Cambridge last summer following 10 years at Side Effects Software. David who has produced innovative work with Houdini and TouchDesigner had A LOT of new work to show and tell. Most of it ingeniously combines low and hi-tech to devise products and environments that allow 'children of all ages' to learn, create, and share in playful and collaborative ways. All very inspiring, very impressive and most importantly very, very FUN!
One such project produced by David and collaborators Edwina Portocarrero, Michelle Chung and Sean Follmer, is The Never-Ending Drawing Machine whose application is built in TouchDesigner which provides the framework for the integration of the machine's various subsystems. Go to full Article>
Jul.03.10 DJ SHADOW TOUR 2010
DJ Shadow (born Josh Davis) is prominently credited for his involvement in developing the experimental instrumental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo' Wax label.
In Shadow's new show (touring as of July 1st) he performs inside of sphere upon which sci-fi imagery is projected. TouchDesigner is used for this as well as the back screen projections. Here's a clip from Au Foin de La Rue, France, Jul 2nd. More to come.
June.29.10 ROB BAIROS and the BORN RUFFIANS make a music video
Derivative's Rob Bairos recently co-opted the bad boy classic 1940's oscilloscope he rigged to process imagery (using TouchDesigner's image to audio-signal conversion techniques) to produce an ingenious music video for local indie band the Born Ruffians.
Working with director Jared Raab the edited footage of the band's performance was processed through Rob's oscilloscope and then re-recorded off of the instrument's vintage screen to generate the Etch-a-Sketchy visuals you see here.
Director Jared Raab describes the process: "Oscilloscopes are used for viewing voltages, primarily in the sciences, medicine, engineering, telecommunications and industry. Though other people have reprogrammed oscilloscopes to display images in the past, the “video to scope” process used in this video is the first of its kind. The images you see are made up of a single point of light, moving quickly across a screen in order to draw shapes – that means the entire Born Ruffians video for “What to Say” displays vector images made from only one continuous line. The footage was shot once on video, edited, converted for use on the oscilloscope (using a live visuals program called TouchDesigner) and then shot again directly off the vintage machine."
Here's the making of What to Say, and to learn more about Rob's oscilloscope Total Internal Reflection watch this video.

June.20.10 PLASTIKMAN 6 | Barcelona, SONAR
What's become quite clear in the evolution of the Plastikman Live 2010 tour is that each show is reported to be better than its predecessors as the process of perfecting the individual elements and the cohesive whole continues. The Sonar performance was no exception. The Visuals and lighting at the outdoor venue in Barcelona were better than ever and according to Derivative's Jarrett Smith who's been present at almost all the shows to date, "the sound was really some of the best techno punishment of all time"! Here's a taste of it, shaky but authentic, videos shot from the crowd.
Next stop: T In The Park in Glasgow on 11 July -stay tuned!
May.30.10 PLASTIKMAN 5 | Detroit, Movement
Detroit, Movement, and the return of Plastikman (16 years after the legendary Spastik show at the abandoned Packard Plant in 1994) to the city that spawned techno was as good if not better than the highest of expectations - which ran pretty high...
This much-anticipated show, the fifth of 15 scheduled tour dates was the best yet by all accounts. It was standing room only and then just barely in Hart Plaza's vibrating main stage, an experience described as something like being in a throbbing sardine can not even sure if your feet were touching ground.
This amazing video shot by Dan Browne looks like a close encounter of a pretty intense kind! It begins behind the pulsating 'Thunderdome' to give a rare glimpse of the backstage area during the show, then circles around to settle deep in the congregation close up to the spectacle. I had asked Dan for his impressions and experience at the Plastikman show to which he replied:
"I would say that was possibly one of the most intense events that humans beings could have gathered en masse to witness, given our present evolutionary conditions.. makes it clear techno is the rock'n'roll of the 21st century. I was right in front of the bassbins and every cell in my body was vibrated into some new configuration... now i'll never be the same again..."
Reviews of the Plastikman show repeatedly emphasize that it was the most technologically advanced show in Movement's history... that Hart Plaza and most in attendance had never been anything like this before... that Richie Hawtin was making bold contributions to the evolution of techno... that it was all very exciting.
It should be stressed that the festival was a huge success with an estimated record-breaking crowd of 35,000 enthusiasts on the grounds opening day. The atmosphere on this hot, hot weekend was energizing, colourful, eccentric, vigorous, enveloping, very friendly and in many ways a revival rave's glory-days by optimistic new generations. Being there and part of it was memorable.
In closing, here's more of Dan Browne's footage from the trenches and the show's finale when the DJ himself emerges from behind his wall of lights. “Plastikman was always very connected to me being in the studio by myself,” says Hawtin. “We built the stage like me being in the studio, locked away from everybody. [I] thought it was important to finally come out [at the end of the set] and take a step back to the beginning — me and one drum machine, playing around and tweaking something magical out of that. [The show] ended where it all began.”
I caught up with Bryant Place to get a first-hand review of the Rome and Paris shows where Bryant was visual tech for Derivative. According to Bryant and confirmed by the videos he shot which are posted here both shows were pretty spectacular and the visuals properly complemented by lighting engineer Mathias Vollrath's excellent work.
On Saturday May 8th Plastikman opened WE LOVE SONIQUE for an audience of about 3000 fans followed by a line up of M-nus artists - Magda, Troy Pierce and Marc Houle. The show took place at Grande Halle de la Villette, a huge vaulted cast-iron building in the rehabilitated old slaughterhouse district of the city.
The show in Rome took place 2 weeks later at Dissonanze in the equally opulent 20-story high Palazzo dei Congressi where Rich also performed a dj set to close the night.
Next stop Detroit and the 10th anniversary of Movement. This will be the first Plastikman show in Detroit since 1994, a bit of a homecoming, and the anticipation and expectations are running high on all sides. Stay tuned!

May.06.10 PLASTIKMAN 2 | COACHELLA
The Plastikman Live 2010 North American premiere took place Sunday April 18th at Coachella, the 3-day music festival attended 75,000 souls strong (and tanned) in the California desert.
How was it? Hands down spectacular, and an overview of the performance can be found here, but perhaps what resonates most are videos of the show shot by the audience (like the one above) and the 9 long pages of their uncensored reviews on the Coachella blog. Like this one: posted by Keo345 at 6:44am the day after the show:
Richie ripped my [edit] world apart.
Dark, evil, bombastic.
Gut-shaking, mind-wobbling, relentless bass.
That's all I can muster right now - hands-down the best set of the festival for me, if not the best in all my 7 years.
May.01.10 PLASTIKMAN CONTEST WINNERS INTERVIEWED, SPILL THE BEANS
We recently had a series of interviews with our maverick Plastikman Live 2010 contest winners to see what they had to say... on a bunch of topics roughly centered around their work, the future and how TouchDesigner fits in. And of course we wanted to hear of their experiences producing their submissions for Plastikman. Two out of four - Achim Kern and Jeffers Egan - are veteran Touch users while Peter Sistrom and Bryant Place are relatively new adopters but regardless of time spent in the trenches all four not only produce outstanding work, but in this exposé had a wealth of insight and information to enthusiastically share with the community that's both inspiring and constructive.
What stands out in their feedback is a unanimous desire to explore, create things, expand on knowledge, take risks, persist, push limits, invent, be social, collaborate, improvise, discover and share. Also prevalent is a pronounced sense of excitement for TouchDesigner's "infinite expandability" and its capacity to fuel experimentation, accelerate work-flow and connect disparate media and tools while bringing into the equation the opportunity for playfulness. Peter, Achim, Jeffers and Bryant take their play with proper seriousness as is pretty clear from what follows and we'd like to thank them for this dedication, for taking part in the contest and for doing what they do and can imagine doing! Read on!
PETER SISTROM, LA-based architect and motion graphics/visual producer has been working with TouchDesigner for only a few months but very dedicatedly after being repeatedly prompted by Franklin Londin, visual artist and Houdini veteran.
"I finally bootcamped my mac and dove in after hearing that Scott Pagano (a big inspiration of mine) was moving to the environment. Now I've scrounged together a performance PC desktop as my Touch machine, and I don't think I'm looking back!"
Peter had a lot of really valuable insights to share and as you'll see from what he had to say, an infectious amount of enthusiasm and tenacity that make him a welcome member of the community. Continue>>
JEFFERS EGANhas been working with TouchDesigner for several years now, having had the good fortune, he says, to be introduced to Jarrett Smith by mutual friends in Los Angeles just as Derivative was starting up. With a background in visual arts Jeffers was immediately intrigued by the product and its visual programming aspects and starting exploring the software right away. Read_more>>
BRYANT PLACE aka CPU is another of our Plastikman contest winners who has been using Touch for only six months but has been very active in that period of time. We've profiled some of his work on the Derivative blog here. Bryant is based in LA where he performs live visuals at Droid parties and for artists including the Black Eyed Peas, HARD parties and Carl Cox. Bryant will working with Richie Hawtin's crew representing Derivative for some of the upcoming Plastikman Live tour dates. Read_more>>
Here's what our Plastikman Visual Contest winner and veteran TouchDesigner user ACHIM KERN has to say on numerous topics surrounding his experience with Touch like producing his winning entry (which we can't release yet), multi-touch and projection mapping, pushing limits, real-time 3d authoring, levels of feedback and support- among other things. Achim also provides valuable insight to newer users, forcasts history repeating itself and tells us why and how TouchDesigner is his tool of choice! Read_on>>
Apr.05.10 NOBORU TSUBAKI'S BEFORE FLOWER at ROPPONGI ART NIGHT TOKYO 2010
From sunset on Saturday March 27th till sunrise the next day Tokyo's Roppongi neighbourhood metamorphosed into a public gallery populated with sublime art where monsters and peculiar creatures mingled with spring-fevered Tokyoites for a single night.
Artist and professor in the space design department of Kyoto University of Art and Design, Noboru Tsubaki's forty-foot high gymnospermous "Before Flower" dominated the show. Rear projections on the eye are controlled by TouchDesigner, changing colors and patterns based on the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by visitors as sensed by detectors on the sculpture’s eye. Other inflatables represent oxygen, carbon dioxide and spores. So what you're looking at or rather what's looking right at you is a looming one-eyed plastic monster reading your CO2 emissions right on the spot.
During the past seven years much of Noburo's work which is notorious for being large in scale, fantastical in nature and focused on social issues has incorporated TouchDesigner (Cochineal, Gold/White/Black) for aspects of its formation.
This new artwork refers to the gymnosperm family of plants which include conifers and Gingko trees and are plants that sprout "naked" seeds; they do not flower yet deliver vast quantities of oxygen to the surface of the earth. Before Flower is Noburo's expression of thanks to gymnosperms for their importance in maintaining the diversity of our planet's ecosystem.
Roppongi Art Night which coincided with Earth Hour this year posited on environmental protection and how nature can work with people to save the planet.
Apr.11.10 PLASTIKMAN PREMIERE @ TIMEWARP
So here, as the team gears up for Coachella next weekend, cameraman Patrick Protz gives us the first official video footage of the renaissance of Plastikman, performing live for the first time since 2006 at Mannheim, Germany's legendary Time Warp festival.
Mar.22.10 PLASTIKMAN CONTEST WINNERS!
We are very pleased to announce the Plastikman visual contest winners!
Last week Derivative compiled all the Plastikman visual contest submissions and prepared them for Rich and Ali to review. They were very impressed with what they saw and join us in thanking the participants for their elaborate and creative submissions to the contest.
While we can't show the winning entries till after the Plastikman launch at Timewarp next weekend we would like at this time to announce and congratulate the 4 winners: Bryant Place (CPU), Jeffers Egan, Peter Sistrom and Achim Kern who will each receive a TouchDesigner Pro license with support/upgrades that will cover 077 and the release after. Congratulations and keep up the great work!
And the grand prize winner whose work will appear in Plastikman shows this year is.... drumroll... Achim Kern!! Congratulations to Achim who has also won a trip to one of the shows where his visuals will be performed.
We'll be posting detailed reports of the Timewarp show next weekend that will finally reveal the Plastikman setup, visuals and general vibe. At the same time there will be a full review of the contest, work submitted, the artist profiles and their experience so watch this space!
Mar.05.10 GRENTZäNZER, WEIMAR
Grenztänzer is a privately initiated dance theater production involving 124 students from various schools in Weimar, the German National Theater and the Staatskapelle Weimar.
Under the direction of Sven Miller together with dancer/choreographer Ayman Harper and conductor Rasmus Baumann the students participated in the creation of a process oriented piece that is guided by the principles of experimental theatre and moves along and across the borders of classical music, dance, theatre, performance and video.
The basis of the artistic work of Grenztaenzer is the movement of the body to music. The discovery of one's own body and respect for the constitution type of others are the groundwork for the students to create a dance choreographed to John Adams' pulsating composition "Harmonielehre".
An important part of Grenztänzer is the interactive Video installation by the Weimar based art collective "YouAreWatchingUs". The core elements are flatbed scanners on stage sending scanned images of the actors to the screen as part of an ever growing "picture world" that is generated and animated with TouchDesigner. The installation works as an expression and mediator functioning as a mirror and carrier between the persons scanning themselves.
"Touch is ideal for Theatre since I can improvise a lot, quickly and easily try out new things together with the Director and Choreographer and adopt to music and choreography. Similar to a set designer I am swiftly building Sets in Touch to experiment and realize Ideas.". Timm Burkhardt, YouAreWatchingUs
Feb.08.10 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: PLASTIKMAN & DERIVATIVE TEAM UP for 2010 TOUR

Winning entries are to be incorporated into the live events. More at Plastikman Contest blog.
Jan.18.10 JOY REVISION
Scott Pagano works TouchDesigner in this striking real-time audio analysis paying homage to iconic Joy Division.
"Most of my Touch work has been manipulating existing 2d imagery or 3d geometry created in other packages" says Scott "This was a little test in creating a mesh from audio information in TouchDesigner itself". The Touch synth is downloadable on the Forum and Quicktime movie on Vimeo. Enjoy!
Greg Hermanovic and Markus Heckmann put TouchDesigner through its infinite loops for a capacity audience of media enthusiasts and professionals in a 2 hour tag-team demonstration at MUTEK last year. More on that here. A rough edit of this lecture is now uploaded in 9 +-10min segments on the TouchDesigner Vimeo Channel.
From the history of Derivative and inspiration for TouchDesigner to the design and creation of visuals for frame.sync, (Derivative's collaboration with Raster-Noton) at Transmediale, OFFF, MUTEK, Sonar, and Ars Electronica as well as work produced with Richie Hawtin for Plastikman @ MUTEK 2004, Herzog and DeMeuron at the PRADA Epicenter in Tokyo and Rush and much, much more it makes for highly informative and recommended viewing.
Dec.08.09 TOUCHDESIGNER POWERS UP "CO2 CUBE" at SUMMIT in COPENHAGEN
¨
How big is 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO2)? A weighty question that can now be more readily addressed thanks to the ?CO2 CUBES - Visualize a Tonne of Change? project unveiled on the opening day of the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen with a special presentation by San Francisco-based Obscura Digital and powered by TouchDesigner.
¨
The CO2 Cube is a giant multimedia arts installation that aims to assist in visualizing what one metric tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) stored at standard atmospheric pressure looks like which is the size of a three-story building, or, 8.2m x 8.2m x 8.2m (27ft x 27ft x 27ft). This staggering quantity is the amount of CO2 the average person in industrialized countries emit on a monthly basis, and in Canada and the US, every two weeks!
¨
The project is intended to "bring together the ?open minds? of artists, architects and scientists through the universal language of art." said Mia Hanak, Executive Director of Millennium ART, creators of platforms for public engagement on themes tied to the Millennium Development Goals.
The cube will be used for projections showing CO2 emissions’ impact providing a real time stream of events that will be transmitted via YouTube for the duration of the conference. The YouTube “Raise Your Voice” channel simultaneously provides a forum for people to send in their thoughts and questions through videos that will also be projected on the cube in Copenhagen.
Dec.05.09 DERIVATIVE'S MARKUS HECKMANN PERFORMS WITH FALKO BROCKSIEPER
Markus Heckmann performed an impeccable visual set with Berlin's Falko Brocksieper at Break & Enter's steamy 2nd year birthday jam in Toronto last weekend. Click below for YouTube clip.
Dec.05.09 BRYANT PLACE in RESIDENCE
Bryant Place (also known as the visual artist CPU) was recently in residence at Derivative HQ to beef up his TouchDesigner skills, show us the ropes with the Jazzmutant Lemur, and be the first to try out Ableton's Max for Live to TouchDesigner via OSC - and all this in 2 weeks! He even found the time for a side trip to Miami where he performed for Heineken. Bryant is based in LA where he VJ's at the infamous Droid Behavior parties and has performed live visuals for artists including the Black Eyed Peas, HARD parties,and Carl Cox.
See more of Bryant's work here and read an indepth bio at Jazzmutant.
Update Dec.22.09 : Bryant recently shared these work-in-progress videos produced while working with the Derivative development team. The first provides a few examples and some discussion surrounding the Touch environment and Lemur data OSC integration and the second gives a brief overview of Ableton's Max for Live to TouchDesigner via OSC. Have a look, very informative.
Update Jan.11.10 : Bryant's been busy again! The following video is an unedited audio-visual performance by CELL + CPU live from LA this past weekend. Wicked beats and visuals, enjoy!
Update Jan.18.10 : More visual spectacle from Bryant/CPU, this time with Richard Devine at the WHAM BAM THANK YOU AFTERHOURS presented by Friendly Integration, Electronic Creatives and Droid Behavior last Friday.
Scott Pagano continues to impress with TouchDesigner alongside Speedy J and the first 'real live' remixed performance of their Umfeld collaboration at the Hypersound festival in Madrid this November. (Hypersounds' mandate is to showcase artists that have "produced outstanding work in the field of research into sound".)
Scott's post-show feedback to the Derivative crew clearly relayed his excitement at being able to move towards an all-live show with TouchDesigner enabling. He described the performance at HyperSounds as remarkably smooth with a huge 5.1 sound and a solid projection/screen setup. "This was my first real system with usable audio analysis and I have to say it is such a joy to have this work so perfectly and smoothly. Jochem kept commenting on how "smooth" everything worked and looked in Touch."
Scott's next performance with TD will be a special event at Art Miami with Richard Devine on dec 1st. Stay tuned
Sep.30.09 SCOTT PAGANO at TED TALKS (Oxford) and SPEEDY J (Berlin)
new: Meeting of the Minds - Achim Kern interviews Scott Pagano and Jörg Unterberg on their experiences using TouchDesigner.
Scott Pagano, the mind behind the beautiful, rhythmically attuned visuals of Neither Field performed with TouchDesigner at the Absolut Late Nights event of TED Talks Global 2009 conference in Oxford, England in July. At TED, Scott performed alongside sound/video artist Barry Moon who built a max/msp audio/midi analysis system that feeds OSC to TouchDesigner. The jazz musician Eric Lewis gently ripped his piano to pieces.
On its heels July 30 he re-convened with Speedy J in Berlin's Berghain for the Native Instruments Maschine & Traktor event and further evolve their collaboration, this time propelled by the real-time abilities of TouchDesigner. His 3D video mixer was constructed and re-engineered with Jarrett Smith of Derivative.
"It's a series of nano robotic sculptural objects that animate in some really cool ways. running 1280x720 @ 60fps...." Full article at Meeting of the Minds.
Sep.24.09 OBSCURA DIGITAL'S CUELIGHT 'INTERACTIVE POOL TABLE'
Featured at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and Esquire's SoHo "Ultimate Bachelor Pad".
Oct.02.09 DERIVATIVE at MEDIAN GALLERY, TORONTO NUIT BLANCHE
From October 3 to Sunday October 11, Toronto's Median Contemporary Gallery, (1142 Queen St West) shows 10 light and video-based art pieces, of which three are produced with TouchDesigner.
On October 3 for Nuit Blanche, Derivative's Markus Heckmann and Greg Hermanovic performed their individual brands of live visuals on the rooftop adjoining the Median gallery, a part of Median's all-night show/opening of light and video-based art in the gallery.
Among the three TouchDesigner gallery pieces, Markus Heckmann describes Datachart as "a collection of random datasets pressed into the shape of a recognizable pattern". Audio for Datachart is produced by Sherry Kennedy.
Also on show will be new work from the internationally acclaimed filmmaker, motion designer, and spatial reconstructionist Scott Pagano. The work on display will be part of the visuals Scott designed using TouchDesigner for his and Speedy J's Umfeld project.
Derivative's Rob Bairos will be unveiling the next-gen of his enfant terrible :) "Total Internal Reflection", the classic 1940's oscilloscope resuscitated from the depths of obscurity (Rob's parents' basement). Ingeniously interfaced with an iPod shuffle it displays imagery processed with TouchDesigner's new image to audio-signal conversion techniques to persuasively convey the eerie impression of being a little too observant and canny. The green-eyed relation of another mono-orbed computing rogue - you could say. These bad boys sell like hot-cakes so be sure to check it out now.

Sep.05.09 PARUL IO / DJ BLNDR
Toronto-based producer Parul Io recently spent some time at Derivative HQ preparing her special brand of visuals. Io blends the life of a DJ and VJ and plays a major part in the electronic and experimental music events in the city. She spins jungle, breakcore, minimal techno, and speedcore while complementing her performance with videos she's prepared earlier with Derivative?s experimental video mixer, Mixxa. She is pictured below getting ready for another show.
Parul arrived with a vhs deck and an armful of vhs tapes featuring a rare collection of source material that included bollywood phantasmagoria, early early animation classics, '70's schlock horror and a handful of other prize items found in the dollar bins of video stores across the country.
Parul's technique is to import VHS source material into Mixxa where she can layer footage into lush, intricate and fast moving compositions. She then alters frame rates, creates patterns, and applies effects as she mixes the video in realtime. The computer stores the material as quicktime movies, but Parul chooses to play them back in sequence onto VHS tapes. Why VHS? With a couple of copies Parul can avoid any unforeseen technical difficulties that can occur when VJing live. And there's something about the quality of those old VHS tapes that brings out the true grit in her hypnotic and shocking video mix.
Here's a sample of Parul's visual work using Mixxa. Click below for a clip on youtube.
