TDSI : Day 1 : Talk : Dennis Fabian Peter : Divergence as Method

Join us live for an artist talk with Dennis Fabian Peter (aka Non-Linear), presented by The Sixth Sense Festival in collaboration with The NODE Institute.

In Divergence as Method, Dennis Fabian Peter unfolds his artistic philosophy through a selection of key projects, using them as entry points to discuss process, experimentation, and creative decision-making. The talk explores how TouchDesigner functions as a central tool within his practice, supporting non-linear workflows, iterative exploration, and an openness to unpredictability.

By breaking down concrete examples, Dennis reveals how technology, code, and real-time systems enable an approach driven by divergence, discovery, and the productive role of so-called happy accidents. Rather than aiming for fixed outcomes, his practice embraces continuous branching, where experimentation becomes both method and meaning.

Operating under the name Non-Linear, Dennis Peter runs a media arts practice grounded in experimentation and deconstruction. His work investigates the relationships between organic systems and human-built structures through the lens of technology, spanning light, sound, visuals, and spatial environments. Often immersive and interactive, his installations place the viewer at the center, inviting presence, perception, and participation.
