THANK YOU to everyone for participating in the first Found Media VJ Battle Royale (既有媒介VJ大战) last weekend!!
We split the entire venue in half, where 24 VJs, divided into 2 teams, went head to head showcasing their VJ skills using publicly available videos only. Each round lasted 10 minutes, and the audience voted by physically standing (dancing) in front of the VJ they enjoyed more!!!
The videos played were… all over the map. news broadcasts, demoscene videos, Chainsaw Man, old computer graphics, Hatsune Miku, Code Geass, math and science lectures, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, FF7, bubble sort, high-speed dogfighting, toasts falling over, Empresses in the Palace, Street Fighters, bilibili memes, 还珠格格,华强买瓜, 郭德纲... the list goes on and on
Because of the “browser only” rule, everyone got incredibly creative with their setups. Some techniques included: MIDI controlled browser plugins, turntable-scratch simulator plugins, custom AppleScript controlling browser window animations, DV camera feedback, TouchDesigner with browser, livecoding with Hydra, macOS’s built-in zoom feature, humble YouTube keyboard shortcuts, custom web sequencers that loop video to the beat, all kinds of hand-coded and vibe-coded plugins… etc etc.
