Hello! We are “Plug-in”
“Plug-in” is multi-disciplinary educational platform for audio-visual media in Armenia. It was founded by contemporary artists Anna Vahrami and Vanane Borian in 2018.
“Plug-in” consists of educational, creative and production parts. Many young Armenians have been looking for educational options in these areas for many years, mainly abroad, but it is completely absent in the local field. For the development of audio-visual media, "Plug-in" is giving an importance to both local and International educational experiences. As an educational program, providing knowledge in the field of audio and video media, both creative and technical (DJ-ing, VJ-ing, music and video production, production, development of sound and light specialists, video and sound art, VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), history and etc.).

We started our main 3 month program (Ableton Live electronic music production course) with musicians Kai Khachatryan and Bobes . During the main program, students had the opportunity to meet and experience one of the leading electronic music programs, Ableton live, which was implemented by the licenesed specialist Donna Maya from Ableton Live (Germany) and cuartoe and sound artist Maria Wildeis (Germany) . After 5 day workshop, each student produced his own music and performed at the final event.
PLUG-IN CUBE
During COVID 19 and global changes, we faced a new reality and realized the complexity of interactions offline. With this in mind, we developed “Plug-in Cube”, which is an alternative to “Plug-in”. The “Plug-in Cube” is a modular lighting installation that will become an identity sign of our platform and will be the permanent "room" for broadcasting and performances within our project. It is a transportable object which will allow us to set the live streamings of audio and visual performances from different locations.
education
The transmission from offline to online will allow us to involve bigger auditory of people from all over the world, who want to educate in the audio-visual field. The online format will give us an opportunity to collaborate with artists from Germany. Based on this the classes and workshops will be conducted with the help of professionals from Armenia and Germany.

collaboration
“Plug-in” has a goal to collaborate with both local and international film producers, performing arts professionals, as well as with theaters, clubs and other interested institutions. And also in the future to create a network of specialists that will expand the opportunities of artists working in this field.
record and visual labels
The LABELS are designed to archive and distribute works by audio-visual artists, so "Plug-in" will help them to find producers and organizations relevant to the industry, both in Armenia and abroad. We also will provide technical and promotional support.
live performances
It is an online platform for musicians worldwide. The goal of the platform is to provide "no border scene". With this platform, we would like to solve the problem of political and geographical borders and create an international network of creators. It is an actual issue for artists from Armenia especially and other countries due to the global pandemic in general.
visual art performance/music performance
At the end of the courses and workshops, graduate students will perform their final works on our online platform (virtual viewing room).
