Boulez Republic Grand Ensemble [FR], VJ

Komabox [FR], VJ
His work is mainly based on the human body and its transformation and deformation, real and staged, sexual deviations. He mixes filmed footage with animated typography. The associations with the images give the text another meaning and visa versa. He is interested in provoking something, a sensation at the viewer, whether this is attraction or repulsion. He plays with two sensations positioning himself in the middle. He aims to create an uncertainty about what is seen and what is shown.

Lomography VJs [AU], VJ
"It is our sacred mission to draw on millions of wild, rapid, delicate, energetic, armpit-sweat-niffy and cherry-blossom-smelling, sexy snapshots from the dust- crusted archives of Lomographers all over the world, and to project them onto vast surfaces just for you. And to do this in breathtaking live shows with dozens of projectors controlled by the most subtle of twitches from our jockeys' tender hands at the controls of tonnes of technical apparatus as they ride the riffs and beats of the 21st century. Our in-house projection programmes can do what was, until now, the impossible. First of all they localise the sharpest of masterpieces by Lomographers in an absolutely endless pool of zillions of snapshots images that are lying around in shoe boxes and on hard drives all over the planet. What we don't do, though, is psychedelic virtual rainbow rhubarb courtesy of WinAmp. But what we do do extremely well are subject such as real life, wild people and animals, wired places and situations from upside-down positions,  the sex & drugs & rock 'n' roll of snapshots. In shot daily experiences of people like you and me."
