We’re gathering tomorrow people who treat AV not as a tool but as a medium of thought.
Daytime is for talking, showing, questioning.
Night is for systems that break and rebuild.
Also: it’s also my 50th birthday.

WTF is AV? // day program
What is AV now? A language? A hybrid space between code, composition, and scenography?
Frank Bretschneider — minimalism, temporal architecture, Raster-Noton legacy
Andreas Lutz — communicative systems, interactive AV instruments
Stanislav Glazov — founder of Hou2Touch, educator, and real-time scenographer
Optical Collusion - Visuals with Analogue Machines
UNTERHELL // night program
Stanislav Tolkachev — live psycho-techno
Blush Response — industrial body noise through brutalist hardware
Fangarm — textured noise, high-impact presence
Andreas Lutz — audiovisual organisms in machine feedback
Stanislav Glazov — final set: code, light, sound, aligned

BLYP: Intro to Audiovisual Art with Modular Synths and TouchDesigner with Stanislav Glazov
WHERE: LISBON, RNA Studio

Join me for a journey into the electronic rabbit hole where electricity transforms into emotion and patches become poetry.

Day 1: Open Artist Talk and Performance
Free artist talk where Stan reveals his creative kitchen - from patch cables to pixels - followed by a live performance that'll make your synapses dance!

Day 2: Intro to Modular Synths
We'll tame electricity, befriend oscillators, and learn the secret handshakes of modular synthesis. Get hands-on with Arturia Beatstep Pro and the Oxi One - your new rhythm companions.

Day 3: AudioVisual Performance with Touchdesigner
Where digital meets analog and sound becomes sight. We'll bridge the gap between your modular universe and the digital realm of Bitwig/Ableton and TouchDesigner, creating audiovisual spells that would make even wizards jealous.

On Monday, February 3rd, a new group of Vadim Epstein's signature course - AI/ML in Visuals - begins.

In this 8-week course, the operating principles of generative AI are covered fundamentally and academically, starting from their very beginning, through CNN, GAN, to modern diffusion models. The course presents the author's perspective on how neural graphics can be used not only for creating glossy photorealism but also for developing a unique artistic style. In other words, students will receive a solid base for further explorations, important and actual for understanding and dealing with any specific AI/ML tools or methods.

This course also includes our custom method of integrating Stable Diffusion into TouchDesigner .

All images shown below are the Vadim Epstein works.

Stanislav is an audiovisual artist, producer, live performer, and educator based in Berlin.

With over 15 years of experience producing music, Stanislav founded a live drum & bass band in 2008 and has since switched to using analog and modular synths for his dark, atmospheric, noisy industrial techno sound.

For more than two decades Stanislav has worked in light and visual art, and he is continually seeking innovative opportunities at the intersection of art and technology. His installations and A/V performances explore themes such as inner and social freedom, consciousness, identity, and loneliness in the modern world, using high-tech techniques. Stanislav expertly integrates modular synths, sensors, and TouchDesigner for visuals.

He takes an individualized approach to each work, creating unique algorithms and synchronizing sound with visuals and digital shapes.

Stanislav’s educational career began in 2001, when he developed courses for character modeling and animation in Maya, visual FX and technical development in Houdini, audiovisual production with TouchDesigner, and modular synths.

Since 2008, Stanislav has organized online courses for his own platform, where he has taught over 2,000 people, as well as working with Realtime, Scream-school, and SAE Academy. With over 15 years of experience working in procedural and modular environments, including Houdini, TouchDesigner, QuarzComposer, Shake, and Modular System, Stanislav is inspired by the flexibility and simplicity of using Bitwig Studio.
