''History''
|

| - |
The phrase vingle was coined by a group of VJs and audio visual artists in London in autumn 2003 to describes visual singles which combine video and audio and could be played and mixed in live club settings. Although it did not describe itself as such, the first true vingle is most likely Hexstatic's Timber video single. The first use of the phrase vingle to describe such work was at the This Is Clip Hop closing night party of ResFest 2003 at Motion in Embankment, London (see http://www.0point1.com/parties/index.html ) featuring Hexstatic and organised by the AV collective 0.1. Vingles were subsequently seen in 0.1's launch party for Hewlett Packard's HyPe Gallery project.
