工作營簡介 Workshop Introduction

「TouchDesigner互動藝術裝置設計」 是一堂針對互動藝術裝置和科技藝術有興趣的朋友所設計的入門課程，為了將互動藝術變得更加容易理解和實現，我們將以目前世界上最主流的多媒體互動軟體TouchDesigner作為主要開發工具，其直觀的視覺化介面將大幅簡化互動程式的製作流程，讓學員無需撰寫大量程式碼，也可以快速設計和製作互動裝置原型，並享受互動藝術帶來的樂趣！

在這堂課中，我們將帶學員如何使用TouchDesigner軟體創作第一個即時互動影像，同時掌握Arduino開發控制板和各種感測器的物理計算，設計自己的互動感測系統，將環境與使用者的互動行為融合到即時互動影像中，實現獨特的互動體驗。在課程結束後，學員將能夠掌握互動裝置的製作流程，並且有能力創作自己的互動藝術作品。

※課程所使用之軟體、設備皆由本單位提供，學員不需另行購買。

“Designing Interactive Art Installations with TouchDesigner” is an introductory course designed for those interested in interactive installations and tech-based art. To make interactive art more approachable and achievable, we use TouchDesigner—the most widely adopted multimedia development software today—as our main tool. Its intuitive, node-based visual interface dramatically simplifies the process of creating interactive programs. This allows participants to prototype their own interactive installations without extensive coding, and to fully enjoy the fun of creating interactive art!

In this course, participants will learn how to create their first real-time interactive visuals using TouchDesigner, while integrating Arduino microcontrollers and various sensors to build physical computing systems. The workshop combines environmental and user interactions with real-time visuals, creating a unique interactive experience. By the end of the course, students will understand the complete workflow of interactive installation production and be able to create their own interactive art pieces.

※ All software and equipment will be provided. No purchase is necessary.
