Digital Cut-ups with TouchDesigner ft. Arbor
This workshop will explore applying the cut-up technique to digital and physical media using Splinter: a custom screenshot tool made with TouchDesigner*: www.derrekchow.com/splinter.
We will cut-up everyday found media composed of text, video, image, and the interfaces that contain them. By deploying this age-old technique to break apart and recombine digital media, we can produce surreal, surprising, interesting new personal and creative expressions

Artist Bio
Arbor is a media artist and Human-Computer Interaction researcher creating experimental and experiential interfaces and prototypes with an interest in found physical and digital materials. He develops makeshift systems to transform spaces through sound and light. His works blur the boundaries between performance, installation, and artifact across diverse environments and contexts, and often yield new tools that serve as both means and forms of expression.
