Az lcyoung nevű amerikai hőlgy blogjában érdekes elméleti fejtegetést olvastam, megosztom veletek. (Ha gond van az értéssel, használjátok az oldalt levő fordítót!)

" What's in a name? That which we call a VJ

In an interview with Eduardo Kac, Nam June Paik, Korean-born American artist, considered to be the first video artist, stated that the relationship between art and new technology is as old as art. He considered the Egyptian Pyramids as the combination of high art and high tech. There will always be visionaries in the artistic endeavors incorporating new technology of his or her times. MTV’s approach to image and music is interesting and popularized “visual music” in the entertainment culture. Nam June Paik give credits to artist like Laurie Anderson, a fine artist, performer, musician whose multimedia work has been a catalyst bridging high culture and popular culture. He claimed that the new technology of today can be and will be used artistically in two basic ways: in the fine arts and in the applied arts, and the line is blurred. The VJ community is divided into two basic groups. The artistic VJ, who typically does not call him or herself a VJ, but prefers the term media artist, practicing in the realm of fine arts, and the club VJs who traditionally have played second fiddle to the DJ’s in the club culture. There is a rift emerging between the traditional VJs and the new breed of media artists.

As I read many of the essays from Vague Terrain, an appropriate title, I am intrigued by the theoretical and philosophical discourse surrounding the real-time audiovisual performance. VJ or Veejay is a derivative term from DJ or deejay. The meaning of VJing has changed from individuals hired as TV hosts presenting music videos on MTV of the early eighties to media artists in real-time mixing sounds, visuals, light, audience and space at present. The definitions are as varied as the individual performers themselves. VJing incorporates many more practices than just video mixing; furthermore, wanting to be seen as representing modernity, art and style in the 21st century by the practitioners themselves. In her essay, VJ Theory, Ana Carvalho writes, “The term visual performer, describes practitioners working in live cinema, interactive installations, gallery performances, guerrilla interventions and club performances.” Words like hybridity and crossovers are often associated with the practice. In other words, the performers or practitioners are typically multi-disciplinary, non-conforming and working outside of the box. Looping through cyberspace at times, they see themselves on the cutting edge of mixing art and technology at a time when cultural materials have never been as readily available to the general public as it is now with the help of the almighty Internet, the network of networks. Like any emerging artistic endeavor, media artists’ practice is being defined and challenged at the same time. In his article, Last night a video band killed my DJ, Ryan Stec writes, “Currently, VJs have an exceptional collective knowledge of technology and have developed a clear understanding of how to augment the sonic experience for the audience. What is struggling to be understood is our role within the performance and how we might become the performance itself?”

Why the struggle? Ryan Stec again asks the question, “How does a VJ cultivate this performance side of his or her work? The more important question is whether the VJ, media artist, wants to dominate the live cinema that engages vs. allowing the audience to consume the experience. In the latter case, performance then takes on the “wallpaper” dilemma. Michael Betancourt examines the fine line between wallpaper visualizations vs. performance practice in Wallpaper And/as Art. Context is crucial. When a VJ performance or live cinema is set in a gallery/theater, it engages the audience and is customarily viewed as art. In the club setting, a non-art venue, VJ performances takes a back seat. The audio-visual mix on screen, however artistic it may be, becomes a “wallpaper” visual experience. The audience dominates and consumes the performance. There seems to be a real need on the media artist’s part wanting recognition for their techno skills. No doubt that artistic and technical expertise are required on the VJ or media artist’s part during their unique real-time performance. I suppose aside from creating Cubism, Picasso should also have demanded recognition for his brushwork. The need for many VJs wanting to establish themselves as performance artists because of their ability to maneuver electronic equipments seems superfluous.

Michael Betancourt writes, “Art can be transformed into wall paper, just as wallpaper can be transformed into art.” Although, the club VJ often considered second fiddle to the DJ, is very much like a film director, stays behind the scenes. The focal point of the VJing is the screen as it should be since the goal is to create synaesthesia, where the audience is engrossed in the totality of a sensory experience. Carrie Gates states, “The senses are enveloped and the mind is tantalized into a world being spun into existence on the spot. Perhaps it is this feeling of immediacy and immersion that is so rewarding for performers and audiences alike. Perhaps it is the intense bombardment of the senses that does it. Or perhaps it is the richness of the dialogue between technology, spatial architecture, and human expression that speaks to us so powerfully.”

This brings me to the introduction of VDMX by David Fodel. The software is amazing. The limitless potential of mixing audio and video is absolutely overwhelming. For any artists who might have the slightest inkling of wanting to work in time-based medium, it is like having a magic wand creating amazing humanly impossible special effects. The danger is that sometimes, the results obtained from manipulating software can be so far fetched and detached from reality that I wonder if we are really gaining anything? Just because we have unlimited access to technology, technology does not create artists. Is the latest thing always the best thing? Are we just blindly following fashion trends regardless of our body shapes? By overly depending on electronic devices, we are sacrificing our sensibilities as artists. In 1983, MTV was criticized for feeding its zombie-like viewers with endless doses of sugarcoated mindless garbage. MTV has greatly reduced its overall rotation of music video because of the Internet, the void I believe, has been taken up by a good portion of arbitrary art seen on the net.
In contrast to arbitrarily composed work, I enjoyed viewing professor Phil Solomon’s experimental video mixing gaming software and cinema. He is less concerned with the performance aspect but more interested in engaging the audience to experience his creation as he intends. His observation of the new paradigm, “the world is full of one-liners, superficial and immediate” is thought provoking. How do we balance the ease and the immediacy with which vast interactive materials are at ones fingertip, linking otherwise disconnected cultural data, and to transform and create work that is fluid, interconnected and relative, is hopefully the goal of every artist no matter the medium.

This shows some excerpts from an experimental performance exploring some of the content and aesthetics of the D-Fuse piece 'Particle'.
As part of my on-going work with D-Fuse, I've been seeing what an abstracted live reworking of the Endless Cities project could look like. This is part of the answer, combining VDMX with some Quartz Composer patches that help collage sources into the triplehead format, and custom open-GL rendering.
Performed at Abertura3, curated alongside audio artists Ales Zemene and Tatsumaki

7 Minutes 20 Seconds from luma launisch on Vimeo.
The installation 7 Minutes 20 Seconds is a site-specific collaboration between Johannes GIRARDONI and Astrid STEINER. Two perpetually looped multi-media works investigate the relationship between perceptual phenomena and narrative imaging by layering opposite projections – pure light and video – into a spatial-temporal setting.
The installation is composed of two projected sequences:
The video is a visual metaphor of a dialogue between Alice in Wonderland and the Caterpillar. It refers to the different aspects of self-perception and identity in contrast to societal projection.
The LED and sound projection sequence investigates the boundary between manufactured states and perceptual events. Visual planes open and close depending on the viewers’ position within the work’s layered setting, creating a constantly shifting environment.
Music for Video Sequence by ZANSHIN aka Gregor Ladenhauf

Correspondences remixed - The Scents of a Metropolis from luma launisch on Vimeo.
Charles Baudelaire’s poem “Correspondences” is the basis for a composition by Gene Pritsker, originally scored for chorus, chamber orchestra, Di.J. (live Samplestra electronics) and accompanied by a live visual composition of luma.launisch. The original piece was premiered at the Musikfest Bremen in 2007 with Kristjan Järvi's Absolute Ensemble, the Latvian State choir "LATVIJA" and Astrid Steiner.
In the concert "Correspondences remixed" Gene Pritsker manipulates the live instruments and chorus and improvises on the material with electronics, while Steiner visualizes the poem live to the music.
Baudelaire's "Correspondences" describes the scents and smells of our environment, originally focusing on the sensation of nature. The visuals show the beauty of nowadays environment and visualize the scents of a metropolis – an homage to New York.

This is a kinetic sculpture and advanced VJing machine. It produces images and reveals the production at the same time. It is a media facade installation and a comment on Villém Flussers techno-images. It is inspired by the Light-Space-Modulator by László Moholy-Nagy and can be called a Fluxkompensator as well.
We are playing with ferromagnetic fluid, using magnets and a self designed and produced acrylic gear. The fluid patterns can be used for further projection and interpretation.
It was created in 2009 in the classes "Narrative Architecture" in Potsdam University of Applied Sciences / Germany.

Well the one trick Tony is back on the mixer for some fun, and has finally come up with a couple of memory setting for the V4 that I'm really happy with. This is another minimal setup recording, mixer, P-10, feedback and one video loop.

Performance

TVLUX : Bagism Visuals from Tristan Brady-Jacobs on Vimeo.
During the Mathew St Festival 2009, Tom George ran a bagism event - a combination of improvised music, poetry and visuals. Situated in a corridor space in the View2 gallery. Not a lot of flexibility for equipment and we only had patterned duvets for bags - which didn't pick up subtle imagery very well. I found the abstract folder on the VJ drive and began to work with simple and strong shapes and colours, which started out of frustration but ended being highly rewarding.
The filming was by Tom O'Rourke, who accompanied Tom G during his dialogue, and music by Paul Barrow.

GreenRay Laser Interactive Installation by 3kta

Mint látjátok, visszajöttem. Ha lesz egy kis időm, csinálok és teszek fel egy kis "madárláttát" az útról.
Most egy installáció ANDRÉ RANGEL jóvoltából.

Designed by 3kta (André Rangel and Anne-Kathrin Siegel) to celebrate the thematic "Green Ray" party, organized by our client LuxFrágil with the collaboration of Patrick Goor, this light installation is simultaneously an intensely physical and artistic experience for the invited guests.
Our design, using green lasers and mirrors producing totally analog visual effects, consists of two light sculptures: a green ray of light apparently perforating the building and a big outdoor light tapestry whose appearance changes according to the movement of the guests that become co-creators and yet challenged to take part of this collaborative experience.

Intermedia Concept And Design: 3kta
Art and Creative Directors: André Rangel and Anne-Kathrin Siegel
Laser setup and Technical Consultancy: Gilles Libert, Ligações2
Production: LuxFrágil, Manuel Reis and Pedro Fradique
Music on the video: Simon Tagis a.k.a STRB
