InstructorsMarkus Heckmann

Markus Heckmann studied media technology at the TU Ilmenau and the Bauhaus University Weimar, before he started his work as Technical Director at Derivative in 2006.In his artistic work he combines the aesthetics of generative computer graphics with the physical properties of light. For his performances Markus uses Derivative's TouchDesigner to develop new visual instruments, which allow him to perform live improvised with the music. The visual worlds created in this way are far removed from any representation but bring the medium itself to dream. Colors, shapes and movements draw imaginary spaces that he explores and documents with virtuosity. The work of art is created in the same moment in which it is viewed. Ben Voigt

Ben Voigt is Product Manager at Derivative where he designs, develops, and deploys TouchDesigner as part of the R&amp;D team. Ben also spends much of his time on education and support to forward people's understanding of TouchDesigner, staying engaged with the community wherever he goes.With a background in Computer Science and a personal passion for real-time graphics and gaming, he discovered Derivative in 2002 where the combination of experimental graphics, real-time programming, and working with visual artists was a perfect fit. Now dividing his time between Toronto and Kyoto, he enjoys exploring the different creative approaches and sensibilities they offer.
