"WHAT IS VJING? It means improvising with visuals, specifically those rendered via projected light. The expression originally referred to the Video Jockey (as a counterpart to a Disc Jockey), but it’s more accurately Visuals Jockey—a general descriptor that encompasses older, non-video avocations such as “running the light show.” Martha Quinn and Kurt Loder notwithstanding, the term VJ, as used here, has nothing to do with appearing on television to introduce advertisements." *From the introduction of VJ Book.
