TouchDesigner Collaborator

Seeking a TouchDesigner to collaborate with a Visual Artist on a large-scale generative video installation. Reply needed by October 16, 2025

The project involves a real-time generative environment designed for large LED walls in a permanent setting. The concept integrates visual assets created from original photographic and vector-based materials, with motion and composition logic managed through TouchDesigner or comparable node-based visual programming software. Experience with GPU optimization, real-time compositing, and data-driven animation is preferred.

The initial collaboration is unpaid and will include approximately a .5-hour call to review the project scope, technical objectives, and operational requirements. Following that discussion, the artist will draft a two-page proposal section describing the system’s approach and specifications. The collaborator will review and provide feedback to ensure technical accuracy.

If the proposal is selected for commission, the collaborator will be compensated as part of the production budget and will co-develop the final TouchDesigner system for fabrication and installation.

Ideal background

– Proven experience using TouchDesigner for real-time generative or installation-based work

– Examples of similar large-scale public installations or similar collaborations with Visual Artists

– Understanding of hardware requirements for continuous playback systems (e.g., GPU specs, caching, networked operation)

– Familiarity with data integration, live inputs, or parameter-driven animation

– Interest in long-term, site-specific media art projects

To express interest, please provide a short summary of relevant TouchDesigner experience and three to five examples of comparable projects.
