<div>Hi VJ theory book,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> It seems that there are a number of VJ books coming out these days. Some of my friends wrote this book</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Though it doesn't directly discuss puredata, I would like to see a VJ book that did, since pd is such a powerful tool for VJ's <br><br>B~</div>

<br>samples of work from the forthcoming book and the<br>project/community which lives at:<br><br><a href="http://vjtheory.net">vjtheory.net</a><br><br>This project intends to develop a community actively<br>discussing and reflecting on philosophy and theory
<br>related with Vjing and realtime interaction.<br><br>It is apparent, during workshops and discussions at<br>Festivals and symposia, that practitioners of both<br>VJing and Interactive Installations will quickly move<br>
on from problems with the practicalities of production<br>to more complex ideas of how and why the process has,<br>for example, significance for the viewer.<br><br>There is a lack of written texts on the philosophies<br>and theories related with VJing and realtime
<br>interaction.<br><br>This project and the associated book, aim to bring<br>together work by some of the foremost practitioners<br>and academics in the field.<br><br>We aim to produce a body of work which, for the first
<br>time, will address these theoretical issues and place<br>the practices of VJing and Interactive Installation,<br>into a useful context.<br><br><br><br>Although we have received an excellent response in<br>contributions for the book, there are also areas that,
<br>we as editors, feel need to be developed more.<br><br>Areas we still need material:<br><br>Politics (activism, guerrilla, community focused<br>realtime interaction and performance)<br>Intellectual property<br>DIY culture
<br>Realtime interaction and performance as developing<br>tools (pd/GEM/Arduino or MAX/MSP/Jitter as used in<br>performance programming for example)<br>Body<br><br>If you know of any text which address these areas in<br>relation to realtime interaction (either published or
<br>not) then please let us know.<br><br>We also welcome other contributions you might have to<br>the content of the web site<br><br>We are accepting full texts, between 3000 and 5000<br>words.<br>Deadline for submissions:31st August
