Tekt (aka Tommy Etkin) is an artist and software developer. He produces rendered visuals, performs live as a VJ, and creates generative and interactive visual installation pieces.

He co-founded Immerse Studio (and its precursor, Optexture), where he works with a team on event production and installation art.

Since 2020, he has been developing RayTK, a library for TouchDesigner that generates and runs raymarching (and other) shaders using a node-based workflow without having to write code.

In 2022, I left my job in corporate software development to pursue creating art and the tools to make it full-time. Being able to devote more of my time to RayTK has enabled me to expand the toolkit and introduce it to more people, and support a community of creators producing beautiful work that continues to surprise me.

Simply put, sponsorship helps me continue to do what I love doing.
