We've been getting some enquiries regarding Tūrama Festival 2020, and would like to clarify that Nocturnal has chosen not to return as the Creative Direction Team. We wish everyone involved in this year's event all the best, and look forward to seeing what you create.
We'd also like to take this moment to reiterate our deep gratitude to all the installation and performance artists, suppliers, and crew we had the privilege of working with to bring the inaugural festival to life last year.

Now is the time to learn everyone :)

We want to help our community make the most of their time at home to experiment, learn new features and master new disguise workflows.

That’s why we’re giving everyone 6 months FREE access to our Designer software until the end of September, as well as discounted dongles!

Find out more: http://ow.ly/gXZq50yUxnh

T&C: To benefit from the 6-month designer offer, you need an existing USB dongle from disguise. You may also use your Notch dongle (see here - https://www.notch.one/covid-19/ple-disguise/). The license runs alongside any paid licenses you already have on the dongle. This means that any paid licenses you have will be used first and once they run out, the remainder of the free license kicks in and will end on 1st October.
