Henriette Heise and Jakob Jakobsen will tell about tv-tv and their
involvement in producing tv.
tv-tv is an artist-run tv-station, broadcasting 6 hours every week on
the community channel in Copenhagen. tv-tv is a network of groups
producing tv for the station.
FreeUtv is a production group in the tv-tv network. FreeUtv is a
practical investigation into and experimentation with television as a
public sphere. FreeUtv is part of the Copenhagen Free University.
FreeUtv produces various programmes and Jakob and Henriette will show
some examples. They will introduce for instance one full programme they
have made called Hamburg Town. Recorded during a stay in Hamburg in
April 2004, it shows five year old Solvej and her parents exploring
playgrounds and other fantastic places in Hamburg. It is a programme
about learning to see through a camera and to overcome your fear.

tv-tv manifesto



tv-tv is everyone's television. Today it has become easy to produce tv.
Technical innovation has it made possible to produce television with
your own equipment. We will use and misuse all possible tools to make
tv. tv-tv is broadcast quality on our terms: everyone can make tv.



tv-tv is self-organized tv, neither the state's apparatus nor the
market's tv. tv-tv is a network of independent producers who all are
longing to make tv. tv-tv wants to break the traditional monopoly of the
means of production and the right to broadcast.



tv-tv is publicness. We see tv as an active part of the public sphere in
which society is mediated. tv-tv is an effort to produce another public
sphere.



tv-tv is investigating tv. we want to experiment with tv, make time for
an investigation of tv's possibilities and break with the rhythms
offered by most tv channels. We will refuse ratings based
generalizations of what people want, and rather investigate tv as a
setting for communication. We want to break the monotony that
characterizes tv today.



tv-tv is tv of the everyday. With tv-tv we will create a public based on
everyday experience in Copenhagen and around the world. tv-tv will be a
station with a short distance between being on the street and being on
the air. We shall attempt a direct and diverse mode of address, taking
its point of view in the passions we encounter and the abilities we
establish.



tv-tv is critical tv. We do not aim to reflect society, and we will try
to abolish the viewer as a passive consumer. We will not just produce
tv: we will produce tv-tv.
