Javier Alvarez Bailen

Javier Álvarez Bailen (aka ‘Light Notes’) is a digital artist, specializing in instruments and interactive installations. His works are guided by his personal style, based on the use of lights, motors, sensors, and videos in real time. He is the director and founder of the MAD Center Audiovisual School and has more than ten years of experience in the national and international audiovisual scene. Recently he has developed ad hoc installations for Ferrán Adriá, Vodafone, Absolut, Cosmocaixa, VICE, among others.

Wieland Hilker

Born in Potsdam, Germany, Wieland Hilker (aka ‘Jonas Schmitt’) at one time found himself looking for an easy to use, free video playback software. After brushing off TouchDesigner, believing it to be too complicated, he kept returning to the platform, and finally realized the potential it holds. Nowadays he uses TouchDesigner as a base for MediaServer setups in a theatre-environment to combine videoplayback and interactive elements. After moving to Berlin, he was drawn to the fields of electronic music and from there Belka was born bringing a fast performance tool built on the same freedom and modularity already used in theatre setups.

Karl Skene

Karl Skene is a Toronto-based new media artist specializing in generative visuals, projection mapping, LED design, and interactive installations. With a background in electronic music, he became drawn to VJing and lighting design at underground raves in 2014. Since then, he has diversified his skill-set by collaborating on numerous large scale installations with Young Offenders and Artefact Creative for clients such as Google, RBC, and Absolut.

Presenters

350 TouchDesigneurs coming from all the corners of the world.

Venue

The Summit takes place on the beautiful and spacious Couer des Sciences / UQAM campus in  Montreal centre-ville very close to Place des Arts. We will be occupying several spaces in the campus, but the main entrance and registration will be in the “Chaufferie” building which will also act as the ‘lab’ or community space.  Please see attached map for access routes.
