Learn how to handle unexpected problems with your interactive TouchDesigner installations! Mistakes in hardware configuration, last minute changes, and unreasonable demands from creative directors are common when putting your art out in the real world. You’ll save yourself a lot of stress if you keep your designs flexible.

In this video we’ll build a mock installation the quick and dirty way. Then we throw some challenges at it and try to adapt. And finally we go back and rebuild it so it can handle those problems more easily.
