VJ and live visual scenes are constantly evolving and influencing each other. VJs are as important to the scene as visual artists, the same way as DJs and musicians. Place of VJ performance is to be in front of the stage, their masterpiece, mixing visuals showing on the large screen behind a DJ or performer, to the beat of the music. You express your emotions not only through the screen but also with your own performance and attitude, and the audience feels that. As DJ mixes the audio, VJ mixes visuals and deeply connected with the music. In the end, the important is to create a unique visual experience for the audience.
