TouchDesigner Developer /Interactive Artist (Freelance/Project Based)

CoCreativ

Manhattan, NY • On-site

Temporary

Posted 13 days ago

Job description

CoCreativ is a leading creative production company providing end-to-end solutions through Industrial Color, Smashbox Studios, and Globaledit. Together, our companies support brands and creative teams across photography, video, post-production, CGI, e-commerce content, studio services, and creative workflow technology.
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. We are looking for an experienced freelancer who can help assess feasibility, recommend the right technical approach, and potentially lead development and deployment if the project moves forward.
This is a hybrid role based in New York, with in-office work in Tribeca Tuesday through Thursday for the duration of the project.
What You'll Do
  • 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.

Nice to Have
  • GLSL, Python, 3D, or machine-learning experience.
  • Experience with experiential, event, retail, or brand installations.
  • Experience deploying public-facing voice or AI experiences.

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.
