​This session explores how large-scale data can be translated into dynamic visual systems. Using TouchDesigner’s POP operators, you will build particle-based structures and experiment with workflows that move from raw data to emergent visual behaviour. The session moves beyond conventional data visualisation and focuses on how data can operate as a system that evolves, reacts, and generates form over time.

​You will explore different approaches, from particle simulation to procedural modelling, and develop a basic system where data actively shapes movement, structure, and visual output in real time.

​Tools: TouchDesigner (POP, SOP, CHOP).

​Outcome: A dynamic visual system where data drives behaviour and form

​About Facilitator

​Arrddon is a media artist and creative technologist working between London and Seoul. He designs interactive systems for collective experience, focusing on how people imagine, communicate, and create together.

​His work develops participatory environments where individual experiences are transformed into shared structures through interaction, generative AI, and system design. Alongside his artistic practice, he approaches Creative Learning as a form of practice, designing workshop formats that emphasise collaboration, experimentation, and peer-based learning.
