Joanie Lemercier runs the visual label AntiVJ, a project initiated by a group of European visual artists whose work is focused on the use of projected light and its influence on our perception.

Clearly stepping away from standard setups & techniques, AntiVJ presents live performances and installations, providing to the audience a senses challenging experience. They’ve presented work in public spaces (architectural projections) and in galleries (installations) across France, Europe, Brazil, China, South Korea, Canada, USA.

An extended portfolio of recent projects can be seen on the label’s website: www.antivj.com
