Its open, broad and highly-visual procedural architecture boosts and expands discovery, creativity and productivity.</p> <p>Derivative has produced live visuals and interactive art projects for international superstars that include Prada, Herzog &amp; de Meuron and Rush and have developed major theme park attractions globally. In a unique alliance with raster-noton now entering its second year Derivative designed and built an expandable framework for multi-screen live performances under the guidance of label founders carsten nicolai (alva noto) and olaf bender (byetone). The collaboration resulted in a series of shows last year at Club Transmediale, Sonar, MUTEK, OFFF, and Ars Electronica that were received as precedent-setting. </p> <p>There are some videos of TouchDesigner in action here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEMIiJGBhw8&amp;feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEMIiJGBhw8&amp;feature=player_embedded</a> as the performative user interface designed for raster noton which is also the TouchDesigner UI. Further examples here:<br /> <a href="http://vimeo.com/groups/touchdesigner/videos/8494799" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/groups/touchdesigner/videos/8494799</a> </p> <p>Derivative is pleased at this time to announce the next-gen of their high-profile collaboration with techno-futurist Richie Hawtin who is unleashing PLASTIKMAN LIVE 2010 a much-anticipated series of live shows produced in collaboration with Minus &amp; Derivative to launch at this year’s Timewarp festival in March followed by Coachella  in April. Full details at <a href="http://www.derivative.ca/plastikman/Press/" rel="nofollow">http://www.derivative.ca/plastikman/Press/</a></p> <p>The Plastikman performance at MUTEK 2004 was visually driven by Derivative's powerful software tool TouchDesigner enabling Richie to orchestrate sound and visual compositions generatively and in real time altering the course of how electronic music could be performed and experienced live. 
 </p> <p>The current generation of TouchDesigner 077 has been completely reengineered and the team has built an information-rich bridge  seamlessly interlocking TouchDesigner with Ableton Live and many other common realtime data and file formats.
</p> <p>Derivative and Hawtin have hatched a hugely exciting new contest inviting people to create their own visuals to 4 Plastikman tracks packaged with a purpose-built TouchDesigner synth enabling participants with full support to produce visuals in the same real-time generative environment as the show's. Winning entries are for inclusion in an upcoming Plastikman live show. Contest details here: <a href="http://www.derivative.ca/Plastikman/" rel="nofollow">http://www.derivative.ca/Plastikman/</a> and a series of videos demonstrating how the custom interface for the contest works here: <a href="http://vimeo.com/groups/touchdesigner/videos/9515855" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/groups/touchdesigner/videos/9515855</a> "</p> <p>TouchDesigner FTE (Free Thinking Environment) and its counterpart TouchDesigner Pro puts a free development environment with an extremely rich feature set into the hands of artists, animators, educators and "everyone else". "TouchDesigner is our vision of what is possible in tomorrow's software tools for building interactive applications and exploring data, imagery and sound", Derivative founder and CEO Greg Hermanovic states. "It exploits what is possible in today's computing technology and is positioned to grow with the foreseeable advancements in computer, graphics and mobile technologies."</p> <p>For press inquiries please contact Isabelle Rousset via press(at)derivative.ca | <a href="http://www.derivative.ca" rel="nofollow">http://www.derivative.ca</a><br /> Produced in collaboration with Minus &amp; Derivative.
