TouchDesigner: Life without sex #touchdesigner #art #creativecoding

Made using a combination of TouchDesigner with an AI video from Midjourney. The video is input to TouchDesigner where 3 layers of processing happen:

1. The main video has some displacement effects. This is seen by the black silhouette becoming washy and blurry. The lines that flicker over the main screen cause a wash or blur effect too.
2. Some orange noise over a black background. Here there are loosely circular and morphing colours, also with blob tracking circles.
3. Line tracing over a black background. The outline of the silhouette is traced using a light orange line.

Lastly, these 3 layers are combined together. In TouchDesigner you can switch between each by pressing the “2” or “3” key to select either layer 2 or 3 outlined above.

The video is inspired by this recent research paper – “Life without sex: Large-scale study links sexlessness to physical, cognitive, and personality traits, socioecological factors, and DNA”, https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2418257122
