VJ scene: Spaces with audiovisual score

Works by Woody Vasulka: THE BROTHERHOOD at ICC, Tokyo, Fall 1998

Patricia Moran's article, "VJ scene: Spaces with audiovisual score", helped clarify some of the nomenclature intrinsic to the medium of image performace. The article describes and explores the visual experience as poetical in nature, expounds on the different definitions of immersion and relates how the audio-visual landscapes created by VJ's fall under the category of immersive experiences. She states "immersion operates between illusion and external critical references", which the light, music, visuals, crowd, and even elements such as smoke that she describes in her article, all coincide to create.
