whoa freaky,

this thread comes just as I'm reeling from the buzz of having just recieved an email from the artist who's most inspired me as a VJ about theyre involvement in avit

1Giant Leap at glastonbury 2002 was for me the first time since i started VJing that ive been as inspired by Audiovisual stuff the way i was inspired as a 14 year old hearing my first jimi hendrix solo

Tim Hope- music video director/animator and Shynola- music video directors

They are the best! :cool: :heart: :alien:

james turrell
bruce naumann
patrick caulfield
richard rogers/renzo piano

god

[Amukidi]

Johannes Itten
Mark Rothko
Paul Klee
Howard Hodgkin
Barnett Newman

These guys have been hovering over my shoulders for 3 decades now!!

[agsystems]

oh wow,
err..
escher
andy warhol
jackson pollock
howard hodgkin
mike snow

threre's loads more,

although "while i'm VJing" is maybe another story... maybe inspiration is then drawn from the music, or just out of pure fear/adrenaline... i dont really think "what visual would escher use next?"

but hey its been some time since i've actually done anything you could call a vj set, so thats really the artists who inspire my 'visual output', or how i produce video at the moment...

hmmm....... did you mean visual artists like painters and sculptors, or film/video?

definitley the Optical Printer Gods:
David Rimmer (Variations on a cellophane wrapper)
AL Razoutis (love the way he slips in his politics, but his formal experiments with hi-con film and rhythems are dope!)

the collage king of kings:
Arthur Lipsett... only 40 years ahead of his time

Mr. Sublime:
Jordan Belson.... feels like travelling through the outter and inner uninverses

and of course Gary Hill.. i was sooo blown away by his video work in the 90's
