Open Workshop : Feedback Loop 1 (Pixel Mapping) by Alina Ling

Alina introduced pixel mapping using TouchDesigner, delving into the technique to map visuals and effects onto malleable surfaces of LED strips. In this workshop, participants learnt to break down and map visual data for LED pixel control, and to explore the possibilities of visual expressions and the design of dynamic lighting effects for installations and performances.

This was part of the programme series 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝙱𝙴𝙷𝙰𝚅𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙼𝙰𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙴𝚂—curated by Hothouse, supported by the National Arts Council’s Arts x Tech Lab initiative.
