AV Club is a San Francisco based algorave artist collective focused on live performance where technology itself is the instrument. They use samplers, sequencers, livecode environments, modular synths, feedback loops, generative art, microscopes, & more to make sights and sounds you haven’t encountered before but will want to experience again.
