Live Stage: VJ Theory [pt Lisbon]

upgrade_lisbon.jpgUpgrade! Lisbon :: VJ Theory - Ana Carvalho and Brendan Byrne :: December 19, 2007; 7:00 pm :: Lisboa20 Arte Contemporânea, Rua Tenente Ferreira Durão 18B (Campo de Ourique).

VJ Theory project intends to develop a community actively discussing and reflecting on philosophy and theory related with VJing and realtime performative practices. It is apparent, during workshops and discussions at Festivals and symposia, that practitioners of both VJing and Interactive Installations are moving on from problems with the practicalities of production to more complex ideas of how and why the process has, for example, significance for the viewer. This project and the associated publications, aim to bring together work 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 address these theoretical issues and place the practices of VJing and Interactive Installation, into a useful context.

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

VJ Theory has been developing areas for discussions both online (through the Small Projects activities) and offline (through discussions and presentations at symposia and festivals).

At The Upgrade! Lisbon Ana Carvalho and Brendan Byrne will present the project and ways they have collaborated internationally and the alliances, which have formed supportive networks through an inclusive ethos framed around practitioners theory.

O projecto VJ Theory pretende criar uma comunidade dedicada à discussão e reflexão sobre a filosofia e teoria subjacente ao fenómeno do Vjing e das práticas performativas em tempo real. Tornou-se aparente, durante workshops e discussões em festivais e simpósios, que os praticantes tanto do VJing como de instalações interactivas se estão a afastar de questões ligadas a aspectos práticos da produção para ideias mais complexas de como e porque é que determinado processo, por exemplo, se reveste de significado para o espectador.

Este projecto, e as publicações associadas, tem como objectivo a apresentação e aproximação de trabalhos tanto dos praticantes como dos académicos mais importantes da área. O VJ Theory pretende produzir um corpo de trabalho que, pela primeira vez, vai abordar estas questões teóricas e assim contextualizar as práticas do Vjing e da instalação interactiva.

O site do projecto é uma colecção crescente de artigos, referências, porjectos artísticos, um espaço para eventos e para projectos colaborativos online.

O VJ Theory tem vindo a desenvolver áreas para a discussão, tanto online (através das actividades Small Project) como offline (através de discussões e apresentações em simpósios e festivais).
