Freelance TouchDesigner Developer /Interactive Artist (Freelance/Project Based)

About the Project

CoCreativ is exploring a gesture- and voice-interactive LED installation for an on-site activation. The experience would allow visitors to see themselves composited into AI-generated environments while generative visuals respond to their movements. A conversational AI system would also respond to spoken questions through synchronized visuals and audio. This is an early-stage Special Project.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical approach and build in TouchDesigner or similar programming language
• Create real-time gesture, movement, depth, and voice-driven interactions
• Develop live background segmentation and compositing workflows
• Integrate speech-to-text, conversational AI, and text-to-speech tools
• Create and adapt generative visuals for a spherical LED display
• Integrate depth cameras and gesture-tracking technology
• Map and calibrate content using the LED vendor's specifications
• Prototype solutions and communicate technical risks and tradeoffs
• Test, optimize, document, and support on-site deployment

Requirements

• Strong experience building real-time interactive installations in TouchDesigner
• Experience with live video keying, segmentation, compositing, or AI matting
• Experience with depth cameras, gesture tracking, or computer vision
• Experience working with LED displays or curved surfaces
• Experience integrating AI, voice, or generative technology
• Ability to lead technical discovery and work with nontechnical stakeholders
• Comfort working on an exploratory project where the scope may evolve

Benefits

This is a freelance, project-based engagement and is not eligible for CoCreativ employee benefits. The engagement may begin with a paid discovery and feasibility phase, with the potential to continue through development and on-site deployment if the project moves forward.
