VJ Woody
As a performer attempting to visualise the music I hear, I like to choose thematic links and prepare new material for each gig. I use digital equivalents of cut-up film loops, to reiterate a single concept in time to live music.
I try to work with visual parody, selecting loops and clips in counterpoint to the expected. I believe in the validity of “found footage” within an art context, and I think that the club environment is also a valid artistic exhibition space. I usually assemble a combination of client-sourced and self-originated imagery.
I was a professional DJ for 2 years, and I have performed alongside DJ’s and bands. When performing, I often use a video application I built called Chandra VIDEOdrum. It’s “VJ Woody” because I come from a history of woodcraft – my father was a cabinetmaker, as was his father before him.
I look forward to my next visual challenge.
