"Video artist Jim Boxall manipulates and weaves an intriguing and original experience, the mixture of scored and improvised music set to video projections is a performance of eloquence and intensity."
- Jazzwise

The Joy of Box (aka Jim Boxall) has been working with video and moving image for over a decade and has worked with artists such as DJ Krush, Theo Travis, Susumu Yokota, Raphael Lozano-Hemmer, Do Make Say Think and Active Ingredient amongst others.

Jim's work addresses the inherently anomalous process, practice and performance of live visuals: how it works, how it is interpreted, how it is misunderstood, where to start and where to stop.

Using a growing list of tools, objects and contraptions such as laptops, spy cameras, OHPs, books and typewriters, Box's work forms the visual element to the trio's performances, videos and music productions and has been described by Jazzwise as a man who "manipulates and weaves an intriguing and original experience. The mixture of scored and improvised music set to video projections is a performance of eloquence and intensity."

"What Origamibiro & The Joy of Box have on stage together is something totally organic. Utilising all manner of electronic technology and combining it with the flick of a dog eared book or the heavy fingered tap on an old typewriter they achieve a highly emotive and immensely satisfying experience on all levels" - Oh Francis Magazine
