Audiovisual and performance culture emerges from crossing platforms in different cultural spaces. The production of content, concepts and knowldedge in audiovisual performances has expanded over the last 50 years and remains a new field. The culture of the remix and the real time content creation arose during the first decade of this century, with a close connection to the clubbing scene of the 1980s, and roots in avant-garde movements, the pre-cinematographic era, experimental music and cinema, and has close connections with, performance art, video art software art and electronic music. Vj Culture represents the live video performance, the audiovisual remix, and the staging of audiovisual contents. Vjing as live video is still unknown. It is evolving though technology and its language is expanding and transforming.
