Did JMJ use a resident artist for the amazing pop-art graphics at Houston, Lyon, Dockland, La Défense and Europe in Concert? Those colourful and ambiguous art prints of famous people, digital creatures and blinking eyes are so evocative of mid 1980s JMJ concerts. I really miss them as the visuals for Monaco and then the Electronica tour onwards were all geometric shapes and lines, nowhere near as complimentary to the music as the imagery used previously. Was a team of artists used? If so, who was the lead artist?

I think that's Marie Jeanne Gauthe. You can see her talk about her work on the Lost City projections here (at 6:30)

That's great to know. Fantastic - thanks for the link!

Just looking at her website (http://www.marie-jeannegauthe.com/)
I think she stopped working with JMJ after 2006, the last JMJ related video was Merzouga in 2006

Great video btw.

Just had a look at her site. JMJ at the Sochi Olympic opening ceremony is also listed, in 2013. Although the show itself was 2014, I think.
