*I'm not knowledgeable about this subject but at one point when I was 
working with Cycling '74
they had amazing software called JITTER which seemed like it was tailor 
made for this kind of interface.

You might just Google around for people who are working, visually, in 
Jitter

I saw one performance where members of Pepe Mogt's  Nortec Collective were
using Jitter to maniuplate old movie footage of Luciadors and Caballeros 
from
50's and 60' Mexican cinema.    It was such a cool show:

Not only did they female dancers in go go cages doing Fine Art Dancing 
not cheeseball, exploitive typical go go dancing
but they were cutting all of this Mexican Folkloric music and visuals in 
with a modern minimalist Techno/House
kind of vibe.

I've never seen a performance with more of a mixture of all ages 
participating than this gig in Mexicali
(after the 1st Mexicali Looping mini Festival) where there were 1,000 
people from teenagers to octagenerians
all out dancing together.

It was inspirational:  incredible visuals, multi-generational 
involvement, celebration of "ancient" and modern culture and
a very creative artistic vibe.

They were using Jitter.

ps and whoever name checked Tim Thompson had it spot on.      He just 
posted some beautiful
videos of the very hip Space Pallette camp he had at Burning Man with 
interactive audio and visuals
played by whatever Burners wandered in.
