Josh Goldberg<\/a>, a top New York City VJ is the first digital artist in residence at Wits Digital Arts<\/a> this June. Organised by Wits Digital Arts<\/a> together with AT.joburg<\/a>, his visit is designed to expose Johannesburg artists and musicians to a new kind of video artist, the VJ, who mixes live visuals and effects together with music. Josh will be hosting various workshops as well as a cutting-edge live performance at Carfax on the 11 June and a presentation of a site-specific work at the Johannesburg Art Gallery on the 17th.<\/p>\n

With the rapidly growing popularity and increasing visibility of VJs, an exciting variety of visual styles have emerged from around the world, ranging from conceptual work which overlaps with contemporary art to hardcore psychosis-inducing trance. Like a DJ mixes audio, VJs mix imagery with sound using multiple sources of media to project them on to large-scale screens at parties, at events and in clubs. <\/p>\n

Rhythm_01 will be an opportunity to participate in a music, visuals and dance event at Carfax, in Newtown, Johannesburg. A bunch of the top local VJs (christo_d and matr-x with guests) will be blasting images in sync with the left-field house beats supplied by DJs Glenn, Pierre, and Greg. This combination has happened before, but the totally new ingredient to the mix will be the Max\/MSP patches developed by the Interactive MA students from Wits Digital Arts, under the leadership of lecturer, Nathaniel Stern. <\/p>\n
