Punkvert VJs are candi's flipped & funkcutter, a handfasted gender bemused team playing out everywhere that's exotically grotty, glamorously misrepresented and decadently kitsch. Their visuals involve animation, live action, cut up skullduggery and finger tingling mixing, all of which often end up as part of their hard-art exhibitions. In addition to hosting their irregular autonomous polysexual cabaret art happenings, Subterfuge and Bordello, Punkvert VJs seem to find time for a multitude of other projects. VJ performances with Tribal Funk at the Dragon Festival in Spain, at home in London for Burly-Q ‘a queer cabaret' and commissions for theatrical productions including ‘Seduction' by Jack Heifner for Shameless Boyz and Irvine Welsh's ‘Headstate' for Bittersweet Theatre Company have all had their place in the punkvert catalog of glamour.

Resident VJs at Rock against Racism, LMHR and Unite, Punkvert have performed regularly to enthusiastic crowds since 2002, including most recently to crowds of 45,000 people in Trafalgar Square. These events have been a response to the apathy that has led to the BNP gaining council seats across the UK. Punkvert have produced several audio visual pieces, notably ‘One Useless Prick' part of ‘The Best of VJ Culture' and Strip 333, screened at the 2005 Portobello Film Festival and as part of an art installation at the Foundry in London. Punkvert completed their first audiovisual album "wising up the marks" in 2005, which was premiered at San Francisco's ATA studio cinema. Their current film project is with mosaic artist Baroness Carrie von Reichardt, a documentary of her life and art dedicated to pagan anarchism and human rights which is to be screened at this year's PFF.

Paul Blackwood (candi'sflipped), originally part of Dubshack, Leeds, has vj-ed and dj-ed far and wide. His London debut being at Ministry of Sound in 1996, Paul completed a 7 year stint at Turnmills as founder member of the infamous collective Reality Check, where he ran the eclectic Media Lounge. That said though, his most memorable gig is at the Dragon Festival 2005. He is currently producing his own twisted brand of electronica under Maelific Jester and a dirty 'lectro AV experiment with the funkcutter -  'control z! control z!'

Emma Blackwood (funkcutter), began her vj career with the name ‘mad knitter' working in the 48hour mayhem of disused bingo halls and industrial estates with Unsound and Exodus, to performing at the 24hr Warp. She co-promoted the successful Triology event in London in addition to Monastery of Sound and the International Drum and Bass Convention festivals in Normandy in the late 1990s. femi9product came about in 1999 as an all girl answer to the macho London dj scene, where all residents were female, welcoming male guests in drag. Regular clubnights and festivals followed.

Punkvert's most recent projects are more cut-up, filth art, naturally! They have collaborated with French electronic / acoustic musician William Besson, electroclash trio Temposhark, made monthly additions to the Alabama 3 Brixton based demonspawn ‘Outlaw' club night. Punkvert and Subterfuge provide visual and aural enhancement in many ways, VJing for Robert Love and the Nihilistics, King Kurt and Pam Hogg..  Furthermore they are working on a seminal, electronic cross-over punk rock band Anarchistwood, an AV experiment naturally, members of which have performed wildly with Burly Q's Devillia de Dallas at a variety of venues, including the Latitude Festival, The Chapel at Lost Vagueness, Bethnal Green Working Men's Club and Lock 17 (Dingwalls, London)
