VJ System


Custom frontend software, p5.js


My VJ system has been in evolution for over five years. She is always evolving. I built her system with frontend code, the p5.js library, and jQuery. She houses (plays, re-mixes) my own coded videos, my own videos recordings, and recordings of key scenes from my favorite films (have I said it yet? I love film). 

I play the system from my computer in a browser window. Using different keys I’ve programmed, I switch the video, add layered videos, add blend modes and different color modes and “curtains” that rotate and various sound-responsive elements. What I mean is, she is a lot of fun.

I could go on for a long time about how she works (or how she surprises or frustrates me), but instead just catch me at the club next time and we’ll play with her together.
