VJ Theory project intends to develop a community actively =20
discussing and reflecting on philosophy and theory related with VJing =20=

and realtime performative practices. It is apparent, during workshops =20=

and discussions at Festivals and symposia, that practitioners of both =20=

VJing and Interactive Installations are moving on from problems with =20
the practicalities of production to more complex ideas of how and why =20=

the process has, for example, significance for the viewer. This =20
project and the associated publications, aim to bring together work =20
by some of the foremost practitioners and academics in the field.

We aim to produce a body of work which, for the first time, will =20
address these theoretical issues and place the practices of VJing and =20=

Interactive Installation, into a useful context.

The website is a growing collection of articles, references, art =20
projects,, a space for events and collaborative online projects, with =20=

contributors.

VJ Theory has been developing areas for discussions both online =20
(through the Small Projects activities) and offline (through =20
discussions and presentations at symposia and festivals).
At The Upgrade! Lisbon Ana Carvalho and Brendan Byrne will present =20
the project and ways they have collaborated internationally and the =20
alliances, which have formed supportive networks through an inclusive =20=

ethos framed around practitioners theory.
