LAB RATS returns! Powered by a community partnership with Lumo SA, ILA is excited to announce our next series of hands-on workshops with a focus on creative tech, shared learning and interdisciplinary collaboration.-------------------------------
Across 4 weeks, Kauran Yerta based artist Dave Court will share foundational knowledge of interactive media software - Touchdesigner. Aimed at creatives of all disciplines and with a focus on interactive and immersive outcomes, each week will have a different focus and approach. Please register for each session.
-------------------------------
*** Week 1 [Tues, January 21st]:
Intro to Touchdesigner: Open Touchdesigner and become familiar with its layout and functionality, perhaps for the first time! Learn simple tools and explore their potential application.
-
*** Week 2 [Tues, January 6th]:
Importing and Manipulating Imagery: Bring in an artwork, image, photo or video and we will examine ways of animating, manipulating or building from this input in Touchdesigner.
-
*** Week 3 [Tues, February 4th]:
Audio Reactivity: Learn how to drive animation or generate visual content from a piece of music, recorded sound, or microphone input.
-
*** Week 4 [Tues, February 18th]:
3D World: Extend the skills learnt across previous sessions to explore the third dimension! Bring your own 3D .obj file or use basic buiding blocks within touchdesigner to make a composition. Learn how to place light and animate simple 3D objects in a scene.

Who is Dave Court?
Dave Court is a visual artist living on Kaurna Country in Adelaide, Australia. Working across painting, sculpture and installation his practice ranges from large-scale public art to cross-media projects.
Central to his practice is an exploration of how social structures and systems are shaped by evolving technologies, and a commitment to the radical possibilities of shared experience.
Characterised by bold, painterly gestures and abstraction, Dave’s artwork complicates traditional boundaries between the corporeal and virtual through interactive and immersive environments, events and installations.
