We've been busy over the past 3 years, hoovering up every available morsel of bleeding-edge tech to stay ahead of the curve, and to be fully prepared for what comes next.

In the coming weeks, keep an eye on the changes coming to viistudios.org and our daughter brands OPTEX Visual Systems and Toroidal Records as we build out a new scaffold and pretty up our face for the big time.

Studio founder Mike Flex spent the majority of '24 and '25 programming and operating media servers in hundreds of arenas, amphitheaters and festivals around the world, pushing the limits of live audiovisual production for top acts like Ghost, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Lenny Kravitz, Modest Mouse, Mýa, T-Pain, Aventura and more; it's now time to revamp our portfolio to reflect the sheer scale of our progress.

We've added a quick and easy way to reserve a 15-minute call to discuss your next big endeavor to the homepage -- check it out!

Do you really want your proprietary data, personal inquiries and company secrets to be processed, moderated and stored indefinitely by a faceless megacorp? Think about this.

As we march directly into a serious RAM shortage, remember you can commission us for watertight custom server builds that contain everything you need to run state-of-the-art AI locally, uncensored and unfettered. We can offer training and advice that will have you up and running in days, and we can set things up for you remotely if you already have the GPU firepower.

If you don't have a long term, 24/7 need for this stuff but still want to use it briefly, you can always call on us for your local private AI/ML processing needs with our 48GB A6000+128GB DDR5 and small fleet of 24GB 3090Tis.

Reach out today to discuss how to modernize and maximize your workflow in 2026 💪

A year to remember... 💭

2024 was INSANE 🤯

Endless gratitude to the incredible artists and production companies that trusted OPTEX Visual Systems to helm their visual production on massive national tours that defined my growth.

I've certainly found a new love in the form of touring concert visuals, and the valuable things I've learned will serve my incoming projects greatly.

Ground floor is my preference, but what makes me standout in the world of live production is that I'm always on call for zero-hour world-class efforts and taking on A/V engineering feats that simply intimidate the competition.

Reach out to schedule a call today and start the discussion -- if my growing client list is any indication, I'm the correct person to reach out to when you simply need the best of the best and you need it now!

It was a true pleasure to model/render/animate Sigur Rós' VONA CBD Tincture & Tea line way back when the pandemic first blindsided us all...somehow we missed the publishing of this Pitchfork article though 😭

If you have worked with us in the past and there is any press related to our work, please share so we can add it to our case studies we are developing for our new website to be debuted late Spring '24!

Jónsi has teamed up with the VONA collective to offer two cannabis-based products titled SLEEP and WAKE

T-minus three days and counting til we’re in Midtown NYC installing our most ambitious production yet!

Hopefully some of you will be in the area when it opens to the public Feb 16&17 to check out what we’ve been feverishly crafting for the past month. Bonus points if you have any epic Thai food recommendations 🤤

THANK YOU to everyone who has ever believed in us and especially to our clients who put the fate of their projects in our passionate, diligent hands.

A monumental release for an untouchable platform — now even moreso.

Reach out if you have an experiential project, immersive installation, realtime interactive elements or something incredibly specific that needs troubleshooting, maintenance, bespoke engineering or programming.

When it comes to TouchDesigner projects, this is a software we know intimately and have used in a number of deployments including our permanent multi-touch screen Fish Game installation at the Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum in Springfield, MA!
