Childish Gambino – New World Tour

Donald Glover’s New World Tour was one of the most inspiring projects we’ve worked on in a while. We were brought in to program the “Lightbinder”, a stunning installation of 1,000 two-sided LED tubes on winches, custom-built for the tour.

The Lightbinder created a dynamic, shape-shifting visual experience, integrating seamlessly with the show’s lighting and stage design. TouchDesigner was the core software driving the system, ensuring real-time control and fluid motion throughout the performance.
