Stanislav Glazov’s Birthday: AV Talks by Day, Chaos by Night

We’re gathering 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 Stanislav Glazov’s birthday.
No speeches. Just sync.

On June 15 at studio.db Berlin, we're hosting a full-day program on how audiovisual performance is built, taught, coded, and broken—across lectures, live systems, and sound. From scenography and machine perception to brutalist hardware and generative visuals, this is for anyone working with AV as a medium—not just a layer.

💥 Day: WTF is AV? — a symposium with talks and micro-performances from Frank Bretschneider, Andreas Lutz, and Stanislav Glazov.
🌘 Night: UNTERHELL — live sets and audiovisual collapse with Tolkachev, Blush Response, Fangarm, and more.
🎂 Also: it's Stanislav's birthday.

 Tickets are live on Resident Advisor → ra.co/events/2184227

 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
⟶ AV as structural language
⟶ Stage, screen, and sensor
⟶ Machine as co-author
⟶ Authorship, agency, algorithm
Short-form lectures, live fragments, process reveals.
—

After sunset—no talking.
Just signal, pressure, motion.
AV not as genre. AV as structural error.
This isn’t a lineup. It’s failure-as-format:
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
UNTERHELL isn’t about darkness. It’s about depth.
Where AV doesn’t explain itself. It just works.

If you already know what AV is — come.
If you don’t — even better.

Stanislav Tolkachev — live psycho-techno: anxious precision and raw emotional force.

Blush Response — cyberpunk body rituals through brutalist hardware and rhythmic collapse.

Fangarm — noise and impact from the Eastern front: textured, ruthless, cathartic.

Andreas Lutz — machine systems come alive in an audiovisual organism pulsing with intent.

Stanislav Glazov — a final performance where code, sound, and vision melt into one immersive state.
