My own feeling is that VJing has become a "general term"
for the performance of imagery in time as either visual accompaniment
to music or on its own. The important part of this description is
the 'performance'--that the imagery shown is the product of human
actions being done live, not shown via a prerecorded, continuous
movie. I like this description because it doesn't require any specific
technology be the source of this imagery--analog, or electromechanical
systems (such as the historical color organs) "fit" its
requirements just as easily as modern digital systems of all types
do; it can include prerecorded bits arranged and used in conjunction
with other things, etc. (as with Belson's Cinema Vortex shows or
other early live spectacles).
