Avatar Machine by Marc Owens is a wearable system which replicates the aesthetics and visuals of third person gaming, allowing the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface.

Que Houxo is a Japanese artist who does live paintings. His style is quite colorful, he uses fluorescent paints with black lights. These photos are from The Paint Players event and were made by Evan Roth. The video below is from another event, but it shows what you can espect when you go to one of his live sessions. I would definitely go if I had the chance.

Gijs Gieskens is a Dutch VJ and musician who likes to make his own tools, both on the hardware and the software side. Browser Jockey is one of his projects, he wrote a set of browser scripts which he uses to generate visuals to live music. Gijs developed another tool to use with Browser Jockey: the Beat Converter. This is a little piece of hardware which translates live mucis to key presses and trigger the Browser Jockey scripts. This video explains it all.

I’m not really sure if these 2 artworks by Stéphane Dafflon, are paintings or sculptures. You can see his work till November 21st at the Galerie Francesca Pia in Zürich, Switzerland. If like these, you might want to have a look at the work of Jan Maarten Voskuil too.
