JeSs [FR], VJ / Présentation
JeSs started Vjing at the turn of the century while studying in England. His love for music, the arts and improvisation encouraged him to follow that path back in France. Vjing on a regular basis at the Suburbahn DnB nights in Rennes (UBU Club) with his friends from the « Studio VJ » crew. Mixing for electro jazz « Factory » festival in Paris. Working on full audio musical shows (Olli and the bollywood orchestra). But also flying to the UK for gigs, Streamaudio (Brighton), AVIT festival (Brighton), Astral Phoenix (London, invited by the « Inside-us-all » crew). The AVIT festival organized by the VJ community inspired JeSs to create the Vjfrance forum. Meeting new talented VJs through the forums enabled the « Studio VJ » crew to organize VJ events such as the « PLAY PAUSE » nights in Nantes. And a collaboration with the Transmusicales and DiagnosTIC made it possible to invite established VJs to present their work during this famous French festival. JeSs does not forget experimentation, he loves to play. « eYe HeaR » is his playground where he meets other artists for collaborations : DJs, musicians, dancers and other visual artists.

By now, Pfadfinderei consists of 8 designers, VJs, Artists and typographers. A combination from which drives their multifaceted style.
