Salon TV
In October 2004 the LTNC – Lady Tigers Night Club women artists’ platform launched Magic Garden TV. This television project was based on the concept of spontaneous media usage, comparable to the TV experiments of the 1970s, but this time they were realized using technologies and techniques of the 21st century, such as web streaming.
"Many initiatives
and projects were formed during the 1970s, and these arose in the context of a
general critical attitude towards mass media. Their aim was to find alternative
ways of using media, such as democratising television. Self-managed video
groups came into existence, local television program initiatives began
experimenting, and projects featuring the public started using portable
camcorders".

The Internet still is the
most popular framework for ideas of democratisation and models of
participation. Today used as an agent for art productions, the Net is probably
comparable with experimental television of the 1970s. The Graz-based LTNC artist initiative will examine
this theory through of a series of TV productions. More information is

Method: at location X – in this instance Ljubljana – LTNC members will produce video/audio/photo footage of interviews, street scenes, interventions, performances, discussions, and slightly different TV-shows. This footage is then fed into the web to be narrowcasted to several remote locations, where additional artists intervene on site. These remote stations are: Machfeld-Studio, Vienna; ESC im Labor, Graz; Servus.at, Linz; and an additional remote input station in London with Sol Haring from SMARTlab/UEL.
The transmission shall be a recombination of all the different formats, during which the artists shall use recorded and live action and programming, as well as - from time to time - interaction with the audience. Salon TV will also relate to the Festival's theme of "Memory / History" in the creation of its programming. The television studio and narrowcasting station will be installed as part of the project IMA SALON #3/06 in Kiberpipa
Over several days the
following LTNC artists will
team up and take turns:
DIVANOVA 06, Bettina Fabian, Karin
Fassold, Sol Haring, Anita Hofer, Reni Hofmüller, io, Ursula Kiesling, Frau von Noeten, Peter Mörth, Andrea Schlemmer, Maki Stollberg and Eva Ursprung.
