In this 2-part workshop, Stephen Bontly shares workflows for TouchDesigner and DMX/Art-Net—centered around the powerful DMX POPs—featuring The Banyan Tree as a real-world case study. (‘The Banyon Tree’ @ The Sixth Sense Festival 2026 [an IP by Echoes of Earth / Swordfish LLC]) This two-part workshop with production designer and new media artist Stephen Bontly puts the spotlight firmly on DMX POPs and the new generation of workflows they unlock inside TouchDesigner. Designed for artists and creative technologists working with real-time systems, the course explores how these tools enable faster, more flexible, and highly scalable approaches to building interactive light installations. Across two sessions, participants will develop a strong understanding of the DMX/Art-Net pipeline, with a particular focus on the DMX POP Operator as a central building block for controlling and structuring complex lighting systems. The workshop demonstrates how to leverage and customize preset systems, turning them into adaptable architectures that can evolve from small prototypes to large-scale installations. Using The Banyan Tree—a festival installation created for The Sixth Sense Festival in Bangalore—as a case study, Stephen walks through the full lifecycle of a project: from early concept and system design to technical implementation and on-site realization. Along the way, he reveals how DMX POP-driven workflows streamline production, simplify iteration, and allow for more dynamic interaction between light, sound, and space. Through practical examples, project breakdowns, and shared files, participants will gain concrete strategies for building responsive environments that are both technically robust and creatively expressive. The workshop is ideal for those looking to rethink their approach to lighting systems and take full advantage of the speed, clarity, and flexibility that DMX POPs bring to contemporary media installations. 1 lesson at 3 hours in English Language live via Zoom, or as recording. Recordings are available and accessible for at least one year after purchase.
