■ Contents (subject to change)
In this workshop, I will demonstrate how to implement cellular automata (CA) systems in TouchDesigner using pixel shaders. We will do a quick refresher of necessary GLSL knowledge and build a foundation of basic principles using practical examples. We will go over different algorithms, from 1D to 3D, always live-coding first a simplified version of each system before completing its general form.
We will implement the following CA systems: Elementary (1D), Totallistic (1D), The Game of Life (2D), Brian’s Brain (2D), MNCA (2D), 2D Stacks (pseudo 3D), and Totallistic (3D).
As part of the workshop material, I provide different help tools to explore the more complex systems and create your own rules.

■ Instructor
Darien Brito

Darien Brito (1987) is an audiovisual artist and creative coder, currently based in The Hague, The Netherlands. He holds a BA in Composition from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and an MA from the Institute of Sonology.
From a musical background, Darien developed a strong interest in computer graphics, micro-sound, generative art and complex systems. He taught himself several programming languages to forge his vision and is now immersed in the creation of audio-visual experiences conducted by algorithmic processes.
Driven by a pragmatic approach to performance and focusing on strong sensorial experiences, he has created work in a wide array of formats: from music for instruments and electronics, to visual effects and digital art.
Currently, Darien is focused on the creation of live performances and interactive installations using generative audio, real-time computer graphics, and light. He works as a freelancer and often collaborates with other creatives.
