Derivative, makers of TouchDesigner, have just posted a long-form interview with Noah Norman, Chief of Hard Work Party, about Epoch Optimizer, our installation for AWS at the 2023 re:Invent conference Sustainability Summit.

This interview goes deep on the efforts to ‘rhyme’ the form and function of this piece as an exploration of the use of generative AI to envision a more sustainable alternate present.

In addition to the design and theme considerations, we discuss some of the technical aspects involved in the realization of the work, including command and control of real-time inference from TouchDesigner as a scripting and presentation layer.
