Review of Nomig and Visual Streaming

Why won't VJAMM and VJ's be the media phenomena of the future?
Allow me to introduce the concept of visual streaming on the Internet by saying that there are two parts to consider in visual streaming. While aesthetically and technologically the concept proves to be revolutionary, the general usefulness of the technology seems somewhat unnecessary. By examining the Nomig site, through a visual description (also in comparison to the Coldcut VJAMM session), and a discussion of the problematic accessibility issue, it is evident that the visual streaming (Nomig) sensation will be short-lived.
Although the concept of Nomig's VJ attaching music with images and mixing and free styling with audio images is extraordinarily unique and technologically advanced, the longevity of this phenomenon is doomed. Although the general idea of Nomig is clearly a revolutionary idea, the reason for why Nomig exists is still somewhat unrecognizable.
While I quite enjoyed the virtuetv Coldcut VJAMM session (the audio portion being comprised of a mixed reggae-African drum beat), I found myself almost physically disturbed by the Nomig session found on piratetv. In comparison to the Nomig visual streaming, the virtuetv clip, depicting the audio/visual display at a particular club was interesting and somewhat enjoyable. There was a discernable beat and melody, stemming from the drums in the audio piece. The visuals were swirling masses of mixed colors that appeared ready to provoke personal reactions within the viewers, but not ready to actively invade the viewers mind.
After plowing through the Nomig site, there was a distinct sense that while the images were fascinating in terms of their psychedelic quality, the sounds associated with the swirling colors and figures were chilling and unpleasant. They can be described as hard, sharp, choppy and almost cruel melodic phrases that have been butchered to individual sounds thrown together. While the colors were predominantly dark in nature, the sounds were menacing and daunting, as something out of a new age horror movie would be. There were infrequent images behind the colors, predominantly of faces of people that appeared to be extremely eerie, and unpleasant.
It is important to not only consider the aesthetics and small population who have pioneered this genre, we also must consider the issue of accessibility when predicting the success of this new media revolution. So we return to the initial question, why won't VJAMM and VJ's be the media phenomena of the future? The answer is that they are highly inaccessible to people who do not have a computer and who live in locales around the world that cannot supply or support the technology to enable such a task. While I think that the idea of the VJ is revolutionary, I believe it is not realistic to consider the possibility that VJAMM may be an international media fad.
