If you are curious about programming, sound, live coding, and much more, you should come to Notam this spring. On the first Tuesday of the month in spring 2025, C2HO: Hub for creative coding in Oslo organizes a series of workshops in collaboration with Notam. Each workshop will be an introduction to a new technology or topic.

April 1st, 2025, from 18:00 - 20:00, there will be a workshop with Enrique Encinas on visuals and sound with AI and TouchDesigner.

This workshop is about experimenting with AI and TouchDesigner to create real-time visuals and sound. You'll explore glitches, accidents, and unexpected results in AI-generated artifacts as a medium to wonder beyond Artificial General Intelligence. While farfetched, OpenAI can terminate its partnership with Microsoft when the startup achieves AGI so there will likely be increasing (and expensive) efforts in celebrating this algorithmic birth.

In practice, we will be using TouchDesigner in combination with Stable Diffusion and other generative models to create real time discursive prompts that might lead to meaningful wtf moments, or not. This hands on session is for anyone curious about the intersection of AI and creative tools. No prior experience needed.
