The VideoJockey

What are they?
VideoJockeying. DiskJockying. AudioJockeying. ElectronJockeying.

VideoJocky
To Jocky Video.
Not to be confused as AudioJockeying, though potentially DiskJockying.
VideoJockier has an understanding different from the musicians.
Where the musician abjectofies and imagines dance from tangents of sound;
the VideoJockee uses painstakingly controlled electron space.

Better said as ElectronJocky,
the VJ manifests his focus through an understanding of tier and hierarchy.
For.
Where the AudioJocky manifests through the 2 dimensionally linear line that IS sounds, the VideoJockey is finds 3 dimentions of control in 2 dinmentional matrices. He projects any certain pixel where the DiskJockey projects any certain note.

Always seeking the lowest dimention when in crowds, VideoJockeying is primarily used to accompany. And in a hallowing realization of the VJ knowing they are being used; we strive to escape these bounds and create that what has no use, but can be used. To project an escape beyond the fringe of purpose, we see as one of the highest and most honorable purposes to attain the ability to project empty and full.

And so, The surviving VJ is someones who can be used by any individual because of his ability to project voiding himself of purpose and dance.
