>>WJs reprezinta un dipozitiv modulabil de performance public 
>>realizat prin intermediul internetului, permitind celor implicati 
>>(Wj, webjockeys, artisti de sunet si de imagine, net-artisti, 
>>graficieni, programatori, activisti, teoreticieni media, etc) sa 
>>experimenteze live varietatea continuturilor si resurselor 
>>disponibile in imensitatea retelei. Continuind munca Dj-lor si 
>>Vj-lor, artistii Wj (webjockeys) isi extrag materialul direct de pe 
>>internet si mixeaza fluxul retelei la infinit, in timp real.<<<<<<

>>>Proiectele realizate de actorii diverselor retele pe World Wide 
>>>Web reprezinta mai ales o aventura solitara, in care cei activati 
>>>se reunesc intr-un mediu restrins ce nu permite extinderea intr-un 
>>>alt cadru de reprezentare. Ideea proiectului WJs vizeaza tocmai 
>>>perturbarea acestei tendinte, propunind un tip de experienta 
>>>cibernetica forte, captivanta, senzuala, in care placerea 
>>>imersiunii in fluxul retelei este deviata inspre un cadru 
>>>performativ. Astfel, demersurile individuale sau de colaborare pe 
>>>net devin experiente colective la care publicul este invitat sa 
>>>participe.<<<<

>>>WJ-s is a flexible, high speed connexion public device for web 
>>>performances (WJ-s/ession) which allows actors of the Internet ( 
>>>WJs, webjockeys, sound and image artists, netartists, bloggers, 
>>>graphic designers, flashers, programmers, curators, hacktivists, 
>>>newmedia theorists, pioneers and web mutants...) to play live with 
>>>the full scope of contents available in the wideness of the 
>>>web.<<<<

>>>>In less than 20 years the World Wide Web, a space of converging 
>>>>multimedia praxis, has become a vast experimentation and 
>>>>exploration ground with countless artistic ramifications .As it 
>>>>is often related to a solitary adventure led in a very intimate 
>>>>relationship with oneâs machine, thevirtual experience is seldom 
>>>>extended to another dimension of time-space. Projects involving 
>>>>networkactors only take place in closed circles, within the 
>>>>network, and hardly ever outside, within a live performance 
>>>>environment.<<<<<
