THE STATE OF VJING, VISUALIST GENDER BALANCE

Visualist Chats @ Byte Me!

comment by: PETER KIRN
Where better than the self-proclaimed most isolated city on Earth to talk about the state and future of VJing? The Byte MeFestival in Perth, Australia brought a rare convergence of digitalists and visualists in December. We cornered a variety of individuals at the open-jam Plug ‘n Play, from lay persons to internationally-touring artists, to chat about their work and the live visual scene in general. My personal favorite interview of the night was Solu, the Finnish-born, Barcelona-based audiovisual artist. Solu’s meditative A/V set, with softly-echoing deconstructed wartime imagery, was one of the highlights of the evening. She stopped to talk to us about:
In this scene, women are missing…even though in workshops, there are 50/50 women and men. I think we need more women here, definitely, for many reasons.
* what to call what she’s doing (”live visualist”? “video processor”?)
* how she got into visualism
* how women respond to her work (the “dream world” description I thought was apt)
* where all the women have gone
* why VJs should be paid fairly, and their art respected more — not just as a means of selling bottles of booze
* why 2008 will be the best year ever.

The short list of some of my favorite (female) visualists, VJ’s, video artists, or whatever name will be invented next:

Raquel Meyers (http://www.raquelmeyers.com/)
Marula (http://www.marula.es/)
Dothy (http://www.myspace.com/dothyhomeland)
Chika (http://www.imagima.com/)
Holly Daggers (http://www.wetcircuit.com/)
C-TRL (Nika Offenbac) (http://www.c-trl.com/)
VJ Oxygen (http://www.videology.nu/)
Chiaki Watanabe (http://www.vusik.net/)

There are actually more that I know of but these do not have web sites or I just don’t have time at the moment to list all of them.

To me the most important thing is that I get to see good visuals. I don’t care what is doing them. It is of little interest to me what kind of software, hardware, ukulele, frozen armadillo carcass they are using to do so. I look for that spark. This spark lies beneath anything the artist is trying to express.

That said I have noticed that some of my favorite [person mixing images in a live context] works are produced by women. My vague theory? They appear to be less interested in the technology and its particulars and more concerned with how they are going to use it.

I want to also ad that Solu (a good friend whom I have the greatest respect for) also recently compiled together a really great book called ‘Live Cinema’ that was a worth distraction from my usual interest in graphic novels (where real inspiration comes from for me), NYTimes, Blogs etc. It contains one of the more serious contemporary non-hype analysis of this multi-faceted medium.

As a past television host of a now gone economics panel once said at the end of each program: ‘read it and reap’
