We are delighted to announce that TouchDesigner Monthly Meetup series in collaboration with TOG Hackerspace will continue heading into 2026. Thanks to the support of Derivative, we will be able to sustain the series for the next six months. In addition to this, we have decided to create a name for our small collective of organisers and practitioners called NóidLab. Please give us a follow, as we aim to promote details about upcoming events and plan on sharing some of the BTS behind the meetups.
We plan on re-using the same structure as last year, as we want to keep the project sustainable and accessible for everyone involved. Each session runs for around three hours in a relaxed, hands-on setting. With multiple rooms available at TOG Hackerspace, we can host beginner and advanced activities simultaneously, ensuring everyone gets the most out of the evening. The first two hours will focus on learning, with a combination of scheduled short and long presentations/demonstrations. The last hour will take a more flattened and open approach, allowing the space for people to chat, share, learn, and explore TouchDesigner. Expect an informal, community-driven environment where the format adapts to participants. So if you would like to bring your laptop and learn the basics, share your projects, or connect with other using the software, this meetup offers a welcoming and supportive space to do so.
The event is also a great opportunity to meet other creative technologists and artists, and to continue building the growing TouchDesigner community in Ireland.
We’ve also set up a Discord server for ongoing discussion and planning. Join us there, or contact us @ noidlab.collective@gmail.com to share ideas for future sessions or to express interest in presenting your work: https://discord.gg/6s3WMdH2
A special thanks to TOG for allowing us to use the space for these events, and Derivative for supporting the project. The meetups are hosted each month by a group of artists and creative technologists:
Workshops:
For the first set of demonstrations will be run by two of our orgainsers—Ciaran & Serdar.
Ciaran will focus on utilising POPs to manipulate 3D models created with 2D images. Following this, Serdar will be demonstrating how to build a digital instrument using TouchDesigner and MediaPipe.
