Testimonial

Enlightening experience! It's more than just coding or learning another software. It's about connecting and collaborating with like-minded people that you're not going to find anywhere else and embarking on this short but exciting journey together!

The TouchDesigner workshop at Labyrint Studio has been a game-changer for me. In just two weeks, I've gained invaluable skills and confidence to excel in this field. Thanks to the expert guidance, I'm now equipped to create innovative projects with ease.

Atep

This experience was everything I wanted and more. I am grateful for the teachers. The hospitality, the kindness of the locals. The bugs in my room was a bit frustrating and my shower drain would clog up from time to time however, I loved every minute of this experience. I got to do everything I wanted from learning touch designer to getting an interview, doing a photoshoot, and making friends from all over the planet. I am truly forever grateful and I hope I can return.

InovativeJ

It’s been a humbling experience meeting so many TouchDesigner enthusiasts and people that I look up to in the field. I think this course has shown me the possibilities of TouchDesigner, and it is limitless. I am excited to dive deeper and spend more time on my craft. I hope that our paths will cross again and we can keep creating meaningful and interactive immersive experiences for people around the world.

Bonnie

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Labyrinth Studio’s Touchdesigner workshop — it was such a surreal and unique time working with the best creators in the field and other enthusiastic students. You almost never find such a concentrated pool of audiovisual talent anywhere else and everyone brings a different energy and skillset to the table. I would recommend this workshop experience to everyone interested in being immersed in a new environment — the beautiful Labyrinth grounds in Nuanu City — who wants to sharpen their craft.

Rachel

I came to Labyrinth to dive deeper into Touchdesigner knowing that I will be part of a group a people (I learn better while in a group) with various backgrounds and aspirations, and get inspired by the teachers, absorbing as much as possible from their experience. I am now leaving the studio with the feeling that I know what I want to explore and invest my energy in this year. Before flying over, my career was quite traditional as a designer in the advertising and marketing industry. But I wanted to change perspective, see how differently I could use all my skills for. And I think this workshop and the people here helped me understand where I want to go now. I've also met incredible people and I'll do everything to keep in touch in the future. It feels that this workshop was the boost I needed, not only creatively, but also on the human aspect. Best decision.

Mick

The experience was truly magical. Not only was the location beautiful but I was also surrounded by amazing, inspiring, talented people that individually impacted my vision on what to do with my newly learned skills and shedding the light on the endless possibilities. Not only that but also enabling me to step into a very special community. I believe this workshop gave me a sense of what I would like to be doing in the future and definitely made me consider a career shift. Also luna was the best

Nancy

I have been able to get a strong grasp on the way the program works and what is possible to do with it. I am not sure whether it was any more than the information I was available to find online with the amazing community that is touch designer artists but it definitely created a much more engaging and raised interest and curiosity in quite an amazing way. I think that is partially due to the amazing place (Bali and nuanu complex) which seems to be made to promote creativity and comfort of the mind.
