Ronen Tanchum

Ronen Tanchum is an artist and technologist working at the intersection of art, technology, and interaction. His work focuses on researching human perception in relation to art and technology. He conducts social experiments through his art pieces, creating a visual dialogue around the subject of digital art and its interventions within culture. He embraces the use of technology and mixes media art forms. He is the founder of Phenomena Labs, Artist & Technologies.

Simon Alexander-Adams

Simon Alexander-Adams is a multimedia artist working within the intersection of music, visual art, and technology. He directs multimedia performances that connect sonic, visual, and kinetic forms, creates interactive installation art, designs new interfaces for musical expression, and produces generative animations and audiovisual works. His work has been presented at international festivals, including Electric Forest, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, and the 2018 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture Shenzhen.


Alexander-Adams has also composed music for short films, theatrical, and dance performances, and performs regularly with the art-rock band saajtak, which has performed at Sonic Circuits (D.C.), Strange Beautiful Music (Detroit), and has shared the stage with musical artists such as Xiu Xiu, Gaelynn Lea, Vicky Chow, New Music Detroit, Laurie Amat, Alan Licht, and more. He received an MA in Media Arts in 2015 from the University of Michigan, School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

Jacob Martinez

Jacob Martinez is just another 90's kid who grew up on StarCraft and Photoshop. His obsession with computer animation began with Macromedia Flash, where he first learned the concepts of key-framing and building animated UI's. That ultimately led to his fascination with 3D. He studied VFX in school and currently works as a Pipeline TD in the VFX industry.


While researching ways of incorporating 3D and live music visuals he discovered the power of TouchDesigner. He started building 3D scenes and through the API, taught himself Python and how to build simple interfaces to control various effects. Today he is quite familiar with 3D and animation within Touch Designer and loves to experiment with 3D scenes in particular. His current interests are in developing new tools to help facilitate 3D pipelines in TD.

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.
