DJ, DVJ, video director, and one of France’s most serious collectors of psychedelic art, OOF has spent three decades mixing sound, image, and other people’s fragments into something an audience can feel \u2014 from Cin\u00e9mix shows on five continents to a 4,000-piece art collection headed for its own museum.<\/p>\n

Long before “multimedia artist” became a job title anyone could claim, OOF \u2014 born Ja\u00efs Elalouf \u2014 was already doing the thing itself: mixing sound, image, text, and other people’s attention into something that could only exist live, in a room, for the length of a show. He started DJing in 1992. Three decades later, the pseudonyms have multiplied \u2014 Zzouf, Lunivers, JA\u00cfS, and now simply OOF \u2014 but the underlying instinct hasn’t changed: take fragments that don’t obviously belong together and make them cohere, just long enough for an audience to feel it.<\/p>\n
