TouchDesigner, GLSL, and Blender
Creative Technologist & Animator
Clouds by Felt Zine is a digital art project containing over 100 unique works that explore the gamification of modern life, nostalgia for physical reality, and video games. The project captures flocking movements reminiscent of birds, creating simulations that blend nature-inspired motion with experimental creation processes. View the collection here.
This project was made in collaboration with Dev Moore, Josh Parsons, Fab Foolie, Micah Carrol, MarkDigitalHD, and Hawn Diego Reyes.

The TouchDesigner system offers a wide range of customization that allows the generation of infinite similar, yet different, artworks. The system allows for control over parameters like speed, spread, direction, and the amount of randomization. The network's flexible design allowed us create a modular design process that was able to be intentional while still leveraging generative technology.
