From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The VJamm Allstars are a UK based Audiovisual performance group founded in the early naughties by Camilla Tornøe, Marcus Clements, Mark Scarratt, Mike Stirling, Russell Blakeborough and Tom Bassford. The VJamm Allstars performances are mixture of electronic music, audiovisual samples, and VJing. The group utilise laptop computers running the VJamm audiovisual performance software from which they take their name.
As well as being named after the VJamm software they actively created it. Russell Blakeborough is the key software developer behind VJamm. VJamm was created in collaboration with Coldcut who are long term friends and colleagues of the VJamm Allstars.
The allstars have worked alongside coldcut on numerous projects including the critically acclaimed interactive installation "Gridio" (initially commissioned as part of the sonic process exhibition held at the pompidou center, Paris in 2003 and later re-purposed for the "Berg Der Erinnerungen" during European City of Culture in Graz, Austria.)
The VJamm Allstars were voted 8th best VJs in the world by the readers of DJ mag in 2005.
