WTF is AV? Artist Talks with Frank Bretschneider, Andreas Lutz etc

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.—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

Optical Collusion - Analogue Visuals with machines
⟶ Stage, screen, and sensor
⟶ Machine as co-author
⟶ Authorship, agency, algorithmShort-form lectures, live fragments, process reveals.—

UNTERHELL // night program

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.—We don’t do events. We build frameworks.
