I read a great quote from one of Digital Mystikz to the effect that they'd been to too many clubs where they'd spent loads of money on decoration and visuals and then put in a limp soundsystem almost as an afterthought, which seemed to be precisely the wrong way round to do it. So they just wanted a plain, dark room with a monster system in it. Works for me.

As much as I'm into generative video & interactive media. I appreciate
the "no bells and whistles" approach to event production design.
Autechre already set enough of an example with their sound design &
programming.. while they could no doubt showcase some interesting work
I'm "pro-darkness" for their concerts.
Meanwhile a million VJ's relentlessly bang away on a million laptops in
hopes of turning out something resembling Alexander Rutterford's
Granz-Graf video. :P
