From DJ to VJ

In the article, "VJ scene: Spaces with audiovisual score" by Patricia Moran, gives meaning to the word VJ and how it has evolved to become a new immerse experience. These such projections have formed a reality in which environments and three-dimensional worlds come to life in different venues all over the world. This creates virtual realities and space beyond the 2-dimensional wall it's being projected on. It's amazing to see what professional VJs create; vast and beautiful landscapes and abstract lighting right at their finger tips. The abstract art in itself gives the audience a perspective most have never seen before in real life. Many of the art today produced by projection designers is quite amazing. The artistic projections on buildings, for example, are so realistic that it almost seems as if the building and the projection have merged as one in real-time. This is the beauty of the visual jockey; that one can create a whole new environment to immerse its audience in; It's like real time visual effects. It's amazing to see what projection can do with the mind by creating a visually stunning 3-D reality.

Here's an example of "concept" projection on static buildings:
