Something like this?
Someone, please correct my 'steenkolen' English..

V2_Jam is V2_Lab's research in Media Jamming. We are especially interested
in the
possibilities to converge different kinds of media into streams, adding
interaction to these
and controlling the entire system in a natural way through physical and
wearable
interfaces in combination with the conventional on-screen controlling
interfaces (or any
other, still to be invented way.. how do you put that in words??)

The following are the issues we address in our research.

Crossover media. Media jamming consists in creating an art piece from
several pre-
existed or real time generated media. What techniques can one use to create
a coherent
piece from such various sources as text, sound, image, video? What other
media can
one use as input? What the result will be like? These are the questions on
our mind.

Real-time manipulation. Real time aspect of jamming is of high importance.
Just taking
the sources and processing them sequentially by a number of conventional
tools isn't
jamming yet - it's choosing the way to manipulate sources based on their
content that
we're interested in.
In order to start the jamming process participants should be able to change,
control and
contribute to the jam session simultaneously. This is only possible if data
streams and
control can be manipulated in real-time.

Software jamming. There exist many tools to create / process various media.
In a
crossover media one would still like to use some of them, but together,
simultaneously,
real-time. Two common tasks are to get a media stream generated by some
software
and feed it into the other and to control the processing software that
performs "outside"
of it.

User Interface. Our research concerning the user interfaces is not only
oriented towards
influencing the media processing components with the Graphical User
Interface (with
input/output connectors, manual controls, incoming/outgoing hyperlinks and
drop areas),
but also towards the broader area of physical and wearable interfaces.
