VJS — Visual DJs — commonly perform in front visuals pre-recorded or live-coded by the artist onto a screen at the back of the stage.
In the case of Max Cooper, a London-based techno producer with a PhD in computational biology, his live shows are often a fully immersive affair and here he performs behind a giant projector screen covering the entire face of the stage.
