The first Prix Möbius Nordica Experimental is focusing on VJ practices. The call is open for VJs based in the Nordic and Baltic region.

A VJ (Video Jockey) is a performance artist who mixes and manipulates visuals, video and film and in certain cases also uses sound to create audiovisual performances.

VJs are invited to submit a demo reel (5 min) and to provide information about the set up of the performance and the software/hardware systems used. Each work will be evaluated based on the general quality/originality as well as aspects such as: the matching of audio/video and narrative qualities, the inventiveness of the software/ plugin/patch and creative use of original and/or archive footage.

Deadline for submission: Wednesday, November 20th, 2006 (The initial deadline of 15th of November has been postponed to 20th of November).
