In this workshop, we’ll explore our current relationship with technology, imagine what a desirable digital identity could look like, and create a symbolic avatar to guide that becoming: a seed, a talisman, a small signal from a future you.

Through reflection, guided meditation, and creative making, we’ll rethink how we want to show up online, with more softness, honesty, and care.

​This program is designed for freelancers, team leaders, employees, and anyone who wants to strengthen the human skills that drive effective collaboration and sustainable performance.

The program focuses on communication, resilience, creative confidence, and people skills that support healthier, softer and more effective work.

The course meets every two weeks over 6 live sessions, combining practical tools, reflection, and real-world application. Participants are supported in implementing what they learn immediately in their daily work and creative practice.

We’ll walk through the core building blocks called Operators, where we will focus on the ones used to handle images and video (aka TOPs). After the introduction, there is time to experiment and begin your own small project. You’re welcome to bring images or video to play with, but it’s not required. Prior coding experience can be helpful, but it’s not required — just bring your own laptop with TouchDesigner installed (free for non-commercial use).

The process culminated in a collective work, Enter the Cloud — a shared dystopian exploration of how the digital landscapes of the future are simultaneously inspiring, seducing and extractive, and how we as humans can navigate them with awareness and responsibility.
