4th edition of MICME.
International Master’s Degree in Multimedia Creation for Live Shows.
Option for scholarships of up to €2,500
Sign up for the International Master in Multimedia Creation for Live Shows – an immersive journey into the latest technologies and trends shaping today’s contemporary scene. This master’s program equips you with the knowledge and skills to design and produce the essential elements of a live performance: video scenes and mapping, sensors, interactivity, sound art, light art, and more.
Through a series of core modules, you will explore the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual dimensions of multimedia creation for performance and installations. Training includes hands-on experience with industry-standard software such as MadMapper for video mapping and projection, Ableton Live for sound editing and live composition, and TouchDesigner for light art and interactive environments, among others.
The program culminates with MICME — Interactive Art Festival, whose second edition took place at LABA Valencia and Bombas Gens in June 2025. This event showcased installations and performances developed by students under the mentorship of the teaching team, featuring light art, video mapping, interactive projects, and sound art.

Modules
Opening. Multimedia and performing arts
A special introductory session in which the master’s director and faculty present a curated selection of works and formats from their careers, spanning both commercial projects and artistic endeavours.
…
Videoscene / Videomapping
Teacher: Manuel Conde
From: October to May
Main software studied: MadMapper, TouchDesigner, QLab, ManyCam App, AI
This module explores video scene and video mapping as the art of using video and light projections on any surface, transforming ordinary objects into dynamic three-dimensional scenarios and creating immersive effects for the audience.
The study of projection technology will be addressed through its two complementary aspects: video scene and video mapping.
We will combine contextual study — including reference cases of audiovisual work in the performing arts — with practical training in projection techniques.
…
Interactivity. Interaction on stage, immersive experiences.
Teacher: Pablo Alpe
From: October to May
Main software studied: TouchDesigner, Arduino
Part 1 – TouchDesigner Basics
Introduction to TouchDesigner as a tool for interactive multimedia creation.
Navigating the TouchDesigner interface and understanding its main concepts.
Creating graphic compositions and interactive animations.
Advancing in TouchDesigner
Deeper navigation through the interface and tools.
Creating multi-screen projects.
Real-time data integration: connecting to external sources and dynamic visualisation.
Exploring 3D techniques.
Part 2 – Sensors and External Devices
Using sensors and devices in TouchDesigner.
Artistic interaction: creating immersive experiences and encouraging active audience participation.
…
Sound design and live composition
Teacher: Ilgın İçözü
From: October to May
Main software studied: Ableton Live
This module provides practical training in sound installation, composition, and innovative sound design. Students begin with the fundamentals of Ableton Live, exploring its interface, MIDI/audio channels, instruments, effects, sampling, and synthesis. They then integrate audio reactivity with TouchDesigner to create dynamic audiovisual experiences. Workshops on sound installations and mixing techniques cover spatial audio, creative effects, and live performance strategies. By the end, students will be able to produce performances, installations, and compositions that reflect contemporary sound design practices.
…
Light art
Teacher: Manuel Conde
From: October to May
Main software studied: MadMapper, TouchDesigner, Beyond, Onyx Lighting Control
This module introduces the theoretical and technical concepts required to work creatively with lighting in a project. Students will learn to design and control lighting using visual language, experimenting with luminaires and software such as MadMapper.
We will review notable scenic and interactive projects in which lighting is a key element, and experiment with unconventional sources — including video projectors, lasers, addressable LEDs, special effects, and surface properties — with the aim of making lighting one of the central elements of the stage.
…
Final Major Project 1
Teacher: Ilgın İçözü
From: November to May
This transversal module runs alongside the other core modules and is designed to guide students through a series of milestones towards the successful completion of their Final Major Project.
The work consists of preparing and producing a live installation proposal, incorporating one or more elements such as light, technology, interaction, image, and/or performance. These projects will be presented to the public during the MICME Interactive Art Festival in June 2026, held at LABA Valencia, which will be transformed into a venue for installations and events around interactive art, including light art, video mapping, interactivity, and sound art.
By the end of the module, each student will have a fully developed project plan, grounded in critical analysis and practical experience, ready for realisation.
…
Final Major Project 2
From: May to June
Tutoring by:
Cristina Casanova, Curator of the MICME Interactive Art Festival
Manuel Conde, Technological Coordinator of the MICME Interactive Art Festival
Ilgın İçözü, Teacher of the Final Project and Sound Design and Live Composition modules
Pablo Alpe, Teacher of the Interactivity: Interaction on Stage and Immersive Experiences module
In the final stage of the master’s degree, students channel their vision and expertise into producing their Final Major Projects — the installations selected for public presentation. Guided closely by the programme director and faculty, and building on the personalised mentorship from previous modules, they transform their concepts into fully realised live installation works.
This phase culminates in June with a public exhibition at the MICME Festival of Interactive Art, organised by LABA Valencia. In addition to presenting their work, students actively participate in the organisation and delivery of the festival, gaining valuable experience and making their mark on the international interactive art scene.
