What is VJing and realtime interaction

  Joe Reinsel

Working with video in a real-time setting allows me to explore the medium similarly to working with sound. I can explore the levels of color and distortion in the video by manipulating it with software and divining something out this material in performance or in the studio. I work with both sound and video in a similar way the only difference is how a person perceives it. One medium always refers to the other: We see sounds and we hear visuals.

This piece is called "Collapse:Focus"
