Screenshot Cut-ups with TouchDesigner
With Arbor
Meeting RoomE14-393 · MIT Media Lab
In this workshop we will explore applying the cut-up technique to digital and physical media using Splinter: a custom screenshot tool made with TouchDesigner*: www.derrekchow.com/splinter .
We will cut-up everyday found media composed of text, video, image, and the interfaces that contain them. By deploying this age-old technique to break apart and recombine digital media, we can produce uniquely surreal, surprising, and interesting new personal and creative expressions (e.g. www.derrekchow.com/48-days ).
Please prepare: • Laptop running the latest version of TouchDesigner: www.derivative.ca/download • Download Splinter: www.derrekchow.com/splinter-app
*Familiarity with TouchDesigner is beneficial but not required.
