We (Future Style magazine) feel visual-Art as the 'future' of the'music' business. How do you feel the evolution of the "visual Arts"?
Ahhhh Very Nice to hear FutureStyle's positive support in the Visual Scene.
It is definetely on the rise now for some time. In the future I see the VJ getting as popular and demanded as DJ's. I see more DV/VJ Collaborations/ Performances...more live Shows. Visuals will be expected at Shows and Visual Artist will have the opportunity to express to audiences. There is no doubt about it that " The SUPER-STAR VJ is on the RISE ".
