What is VJing and realtime interaction

Contextualizing the VJ and Live Visual Performance and Improvisation “All of a sudden it hit me---if there was such a thing as composing music, there could be such a thing as composing motion. After all, there are melodic figures, why can't there be figures of motion?”- Artist Len Lye “The dream of creating a visual music comparable to auditory music found its fulfillment in animated abstract films by artists such as Oskar Fischinger, Len Lye and Norman McLaren; but long before them, many people built instruments, usually called ‘color organs,' that would display modulated colored light in some kind of fluid fashion comparable to music.” -William Moritz There is a history of the art of movement that forms relational streams and tributaries into the practice of live audio-visual, performed work, such as VJing or live and interactive cinema. Digital practices have encouraged a plethora of audio-visual work with roots in what is described as visual music, as well as an art of movement and experimental animation. These audio-visual practices share, overlap and converge with music and experimental and improvised sound work in their levels of abstraction, the prevalence of rhythm and movement, the lack of conventional narrative, varying intensities, and time-based/time-pressured performance interactions and improvisations.
