Why Take This Class?
Based on a real-time engine and a wide range of versatile tools, TouchDesigner enables rich, general-purpose work in media art. Despite this, creating high-quality media art traditionally required complex coding and multiple sub-tools.
In this class, we simplify the process by using only TouchDesigner, eliminating the need for separate programs or text coding. Reflecting the latest industry trends and bridging the gap between commerce and art, this course will teach you to create captivating interactive art and audio-visual experiences. Only at Coloso.

Interview with
Media Artist, Yunsu Joung
Question.01
What do you find appealing about interactive media art?
What do you find appealing about interactive media art?
The biggest appeal of interactive media art is that it is 'interactive', or 'responsive'. In today's era, more diverse and creative works of art are being created through the meeting of technology and art. Among them, one of the biggest characteristics of interactive media art is interactivity. I think the biggest appeal of interactive media art is that it allows new experiences and the expansion of phenomenological experiences by responding to viewers rather than just keeping the content generic.
Question.02
What sets this class apart?
What sets this class apart?
This is a course that can be learned using a single node-based touch designer tool, without the need for other tools or complex coding . Learn how to install the Touch Designer tool and use the node structure efficiently to create high-quality audio visual works.
Question.03
Who would you recommend this class to?
Who would you recommend this class to?
I recommend it to those who have always been interested in media art, as well as those who want to develop existing artwork into real-time interaction art. We also recommend this to existing Touch Designer users who want to make better use of Touch Designer's strengths and technologies.
