VJFleet [redux], audio-video urban performance, 2003-2009
Julie Andreyev and Simon Overstall

Serving as hybrid forms, a fleet of customized cars equipped with interactive, audio-video technologies cruise the city seeking engagement as urban performance. During a VJFleet [redux] performance, video of driving routes in a host city are manipulated by interactions between the car and driver to create effects on the videos. Audio aspects of the engine and passenger areas of the cars are recorded for chosen performance locations en route. Here, the audio and video recordings are mixed into a new, live cinematic display.
