Plastikman Live Visual Contest
Greg J. Smith of Serial Consign writes: Toronto-based Derivative software is teaming up with Richie Hawtin to organize a contest so that fans can design visuals for the Plastikman 2010 tour. Essentially they have bundled a custom version of their TouchDesigner software with four Plastikman tracks and are allowing fans to make visualizations which may be included in his tour dates this year – this collaboration is made possible by a bridge to the Ableton Live. Full info about the contest is here – the endeavour is quite similar to the Nine Inch Nails crowdsourced concert video.
There is some video of TouchDesigner in action here:

There is also a series of videos demonstrating how the custom interface for the contest works:
