VJ Theory
Philosophy and cultural theory of vjing and realtime interaction

Keywords; narrative, philosophy, psychoanalysis, cultural theory, ephemeral,
performance, technology, aesthetics, politics, ethics, realtime processing,
collaboration, integrating media.

During AVIT UK 05 there was a fantastic level of debate based on both the theory
and practice of VJing and realtime interactive installations and the questions
those practices rise.

Paul and Lara have been organizing Narrative Lab, a program of lectures,
screenings, performances and projects as a major strand since of AVITUK since
2003.  The group has been seeking to encourage debate, spark new work arising
from theory and facilitate collaboration examining the territories of
narrative. Over the last two years the narrative Lab has hosted lectures on
hypertextuality, meta narratives, psychogeography, screen aesthetics,
structuralism, process methodologies and various production techniques.

These theoretical debates have now expanded across many of the other sessions.
What became apparent was the lack of written texts which attempt to deal with
these questions which involves everybody's practice.
With this in mind we propose to gather a collection of articles and essays which
begins to deal with these new media debates.

We see this volume as paralleling the early anthologies of film criticism, such
as 'Movies and Methods' by Bill Nichols, containing a broad range of analytical
perspectives relating to the new medium.




This is an invitation to submit a short synopsis, propose an article or ideas to
be published as a book.
