Luca Cingolani is a multimedia artist and technologist working with TouchDesigner and real-time neural architectures, specifically Stable Diffusion, as a performative low-latency instrument for live stage environments. His research operates on one of the more genuinely unresolved frontiers right now, where latency, unpredictability and aesthetic possibility collide in front of an audience, and where Generative AI stops being a content machine and starts behaving like an instrument you actually play. 

In this intensive masterclass, participants will learn how to build a live performance system that transforms real time camera feeds into coherent, generative visual streams. 

The session focuses on the synergy between TouchDesigner and Stable Diffusion to demonstrate how AI can function as a genuine, low latency performance instrument. We will explore how to use real time visual data, including depth maps and motion, as a structural guide for AI generation, ensuring a responsive and stable output.
