Live Performance Multimedia

About Me

Visual Division are a Video Band. We project and edit live graphics/visuals for the stage. A three part VJ act and label performing in Europe 2007 with UK band Noiseprint .


Visual Division (formerly Samsara VJ's) who are Jamie Dale,Zilvinas Navydas (Jethro Archer - looking after our NZ division) - have been storming around New Zealand and the UKsince 1999, with 1st projections being at open air festivals in Auckland. Take me to the Visual Division Website



Visual Division started to beam their particular brand of graphic art tearing up venues and clubs with a monthlyevent called Breakdown featuring DJ Rob Salmon. They then went on to put together and conceptualise events thatinvolved the participation of surrealists that would (not unlike a fly to a spider web) stumble into our multimediafrenzy.
"We're mostly playing venues in and around London in 07, with the exception of international festivals such as"Splore" in New Zealand. Our label showcases some of the artists we have worked with and also unites our particular taste in video performance."
