This collection is a series of small-scale media art experiments created using TouchDesigner. Each piece explores different aspects of generative visuals, real-time interaction, or spatial modulation. Rather than one unified project, it represents ongoing studies in audiovisual expression through code, noise, and feedback systems.

2. Cellular Automata

Cellular Automata Visual

This project visualizes the life and decay of particles in a self-organizing system using a custom GLSL shader in TouchDesigner. The vertex shader reads cell data (alive, life, state) from a texture buffer, then positions and colors each particle in 3D space based on its state. The fragment shader performs real-time lighting calculations (Phong model) and integrates fog, alpha, and camera-based lighting. All visual behavior is fully GPU-accelerated and procedurally definedโ€”there is no simulation in SOPs or TOPs. The result is a minimal, but computationally complete ecosystem rendered entirely on the graphics pipeline.
