Join Touch Collective and Platform Presents for a TouchDesigner workshop where we will explore how the body can become an interface through finger and face tracking in TouchDesigner.

[Beginner friendly, no experience necessary.]

What we'll cover

A foundational understanding of MediaPipe and its role in finger and face tracking in TouchDesigner.
Practical skills in using tracking data to control real-time visuals and customise interactive effects with their own images.
A starting point for independent experimentation and developing their own interactive projects.

What to bring:

Laptop (Mac or Windows) with working webcame
TouchDesigner (Non-Commercial Edition) installed — free download at derivative.ca/download

This session is structured in three parts: an industry-insight talk, a hands-on workshop and time to connect with other creatives.

Part 1 — Intro + Demo

Minnie and Jess will introduce themselves, the collectives, what TouchDesigner is and demonstrate what we are building in the workshop today.

Part 2 — Workshop: Composing a live digital self-portrat

A hands-on session where Minnie and Jess guide you through building a finger and face tracking, real-time visual effect

Part 3 — Connect

Time to experiment, share what you've made and connect with others in the room.

Who it’s for:

Artists, designers, and creatives curious about integrating technology or interactivity into their practice. No coding or technical background needed, just a laptop, curiosity, and

a willingness to experiment.
