tagR.tv is a platform for media art – for the support of an active discourse from, with and by the protagonists, the media artists themselves. As an on-line medium it is easy accessible and therefore also operates as an art promoter across the physical borders of exhibitions and festivals.
tagR.tv was founded 2006 as a pure online documentation platform by four media art students from the need to complement a disregarded media coverage about new media art festivals. With an experimental and individual way of documentation we wanted to make media art accessible for everyone.
Because the tagR team primarily consists of media artists and students who are in some cases invited to the events themselves, a new insider’s perspective of the reporting originates and leads to deeper discourse and exchange.
Over the years the cooperations with festivals deepened and opened new ways and perspectives and therefore also changed the role of tagR.tv. e.g.: Transmediale in Berlin and the ARS Electronica in Linz provided us with a temporary workspace and therefore we were integrated in the Festival and additionally became a center for exchange and discourse on site.
The work with our mobile interview studio “umbr.ella“, a reconstructed umbrella, attracts a lot of sensation by its performative character and therefore acts as an intervention at art events by its own. „umbr.ella“ was invented by the media artist Ella Esque and is only one kind of interview technic > the strategy and approach to document the works is subject to the individual style of every tagR within the team.
tagR.tv supports their members with the organization of accreditations and the contact with festivals and the artists. Furthermore we try to provide travel expenses for our tagR team as far as possible. In this way we facilitate our members with the access to the festivals and therefore stimulate active involvement into the art discourse.
By an improved infrastructure, like video cameras, microphones, a computer and an office space in MuseumsQuartier, tagR.tv can expand its activities. The office in the MuseumsQuartier additionally became an exchange platform about media art and offers a space for Workshops and discussions.
tagr.tv was established in 2006 by Andreas ‘Muk’ Haider, Emanuel Andel, Ella Esque, Martin Ferstl und Peter Scharmüller.
