Barry Penland, aka PIXELFLIP, is a visualist who, in 2001, started mixing and manipulating imagery to the audio stylings of DJ Henry Ma, Beta Carotine, and at 'Passion' parties with Scott Audio and Andy Clockwork while studying multimedia development at the Vancouver Film School in British Columbia. Upon returning to his original home of Seattle in 2003 he found sanctuary in the local scene working with the talents of Jay Mason, Fortune Kiki, Jacob London and the SunTzu Sound crew. Barry's style is rooted in abstraction and enjoys the energy of the crowd and DJ for ultimate artistic direction.

What is a VJ?
A VJ is a performance artist who manipulates video imagery, LIVE, on large displays and projections, often at concerts, nightclubs and music festivals. A VJ uses video in much the same way that a DJ mixes records. The techniques and equipment vary but the basic principles remain the same (e.g. selecting, cross fading, scratching, cutting and sampling). Some VJs concentrate on just visuals, mixing and manipulating video or film in tandem with a DJ, others incorporate audio with their visuals to create stunning, multilayered audio visual experiences.
