Jakob Povel

Jakob Povel is a graphic designer by profession and a nerd at heart. Since discovering a way to integrate real-time graphics into his design concepts, he has left the standard graphic design tools, which he had been using for over a decade, behind.


It all began with a batch script game he made that showed him the power of programming.

From there he took a leap using various techniques that suited the task, from writing macros in AutoHotkey to using TensorFlow to create art. After discovering TouchDesigner while researching how to connect the Kinect he was able to present his VR experience Structure at the TouchDesigner Summit in Berlin in 2018. This was the first TouchDesigner project he made, but definitely will not be the last.

Jacques Hoepffner

Working mainly for stage, theatre, and dance, Jacques Hoepffner produces digital scenographies, videos, and images in collaboration with directors and choreographers. He has been using TouchDesigner for the last two years as his main tool to produce his work. In addition to TD he uses Unity 3D and Processing (when necessary). Hoepffner also teaches digital art in art schools and universities.

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.
