The Beauty of Tech-Art: TouchDesigner ComfyUI Workshop
TEA Community is honored to host The Flare International New Media Art Event in Vancouver, Canada. In collaboration with UBC Emerging Lab (https://eml.ubc.ca/), we have organized the forum and workshop sections for this event under the theme "The Beauty of Tech-Art."
We are delighted to invite teamLab (https://www.teamlab.art/), one of the most renowned interactive digital art studios in the world. Takeshi Yamada, their head of recruitment, will introduce the concept and technology behind their work. Jimmz Zhang, co-founder of Digital FUN studio (https://www.digitalfun.ca/) and TEA Community, will share his insights on how technology drives digital art from both commercial and educational perspectives.
For the workshop section, Jimmz will present a 3-hour immersive session guiding participants into the captivating realm of TouchDesigner and ComfyUI. By leveraging webcam-based facial expression detection and seamlessly integrating ControlNet, IP-Adapter, and LivePotrait ComfyUI custom nodes, an unparalleled AI-driven interactive experience will be generated.
The entire event will take place on the afternoon of November 21st, featuring a 1.5-hour forum section followed by a 3-hour workshop. While the workshop will be limited to 30 participants, primarily targeting UBC students. We have reserved 10 tickets for the TouchDesigner Vancouver Group.
