💙 Join us for the very first Austin TouchDesigner Meetup at dadaLab on July 17 from 7:30–9:30 PM! This kickoff event is all about bringing together the local TouchDesigner community to connect, share, and get inspired.

We’ll feature exciting demos and talks from Goldie Nourian, Producer and Narrative Lead at Psychojelly Studio, who will explore how interactive technology can be used for narrative and brand storytelling, and Brandon Stargrave, who will demo new workflows using the latest POPs operators in TouchDesigner. Plus, we’re introducing a Show & Tell Sandbox—a casual space where anyone can bring their laptop to share projects, get feedback, or collaborate with fellow TouchDesigner enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, come hang out, learn something new, and help shape this growing creative community!

QUADRANT v8.0

August 2, 2025
Doors @ 7:30 | Performances @ 8:00
Discounted online presale and student tickets available | All ages

Join us for an evening of auditory exploration at QUADRANT v8.0 – the eighth edition of dadageek's quadraphonic electronic music series, featuring spatial sound performance and real-time video art. Hosted at dadaLab, this event showcases the creative potential of quadraphonic sound—an audio format that utilizes four speakers positioned around the listener to create a more immersive listening experience.
Each artist performing at QUADRANT v8.0 has developed a piece specifically for dadaLab’s 4-channel system, using spatial techniques to explore movement, texture, and atmosphere in sound. The result is a listening experience that encourages deeper attention to how sound interacts with space and perception. Prepare for an experience that challenges convention, transcends stereo, and envelops your senses.
