video
paintings: (see also hybrid
performance)
At
the 'arty' end of the VJzoo.com spectrum are works we
call video paintings. These are gentle, abstracted videoscapes
that morph, dissolve and pulse.
Many
people have commented that these works look like Impressionist
paintings. Monet would sit and paint the same scene again
and again to express subtle changes in light and colour
throughout a day. We aim to capture such fleeting changes
by 'video painting' with time as well as light and colour.
Sometimes
we're lucky enough to be able to do work this abstract
and ambient at gigs, but often we do them for other contexts,
such as exhibitions, arts festivals and installations
in collaboration with sound artists.
