The TINT Arts Lab is a plattform that offers the invited artists a space to present a new project in the form of a self contained blog. Its motivation is to foster an open and public discussion of the projects concept, context, development, presentation, and documentation between the artists, a core team of commentators and the interested media arts community.

Nevertheless, born out of curiosity it shall remain an open plattform in constant change. A probe that will help to learn more about media arts and its motivations, modes of production, documentation, and reception in an age of crowd-sourced networked complexity.

Please visit the artists residencies and take part in the discussion if you like. Don’t shy away to contribute with questions, comments, critique, or advise. Critical but fair feedback to the artist’s projects and the arts lab in general is highly appreciated. The arts lab is in its first season and we see it in a beta phase. The rules of interactions are not set in stone and you can actively influence the outcome of each residence.

Feel free to contact us at lab@tintarts.org if you’ve got questions or feedback about the arts lab.

The TINT team

TINT opens its Arts Lab in May 2010 to provide an online platform for artists to present and develop ideas through critical feedback and open discourse. Based on a framework of constructive critique and knowledgeable support, participating artists are invited to explore their work within the boundaries of media art. Participating artists will be required that they develop their project in their own workspace, documenting their progress thoroughly at all stages from conceptional to realisation in a dedicated blog. With the labs focus on the documentation of these usually opaque processes we enable a dedicated team of artists, theorist and practitioners as well as the wider community to respond to the project and provide thereby the possibility for artistic development. Once all the first round projects are completed, they will be jointly presented in a TINT curated event in a London based venue.

Call for feedback by art historians, media theorists, artists, technicians, and all the other who might want to raise a voice.
The lab’s projects needs a continuous flow of comments and feedback to support the participating artists in their development. We’re looking for a small group of people to set up a team of regular commentators on all projects but also wish to establish a data base of interested people we could contact to give feedback on specific issues. All regular commentators will be promoted prominently on the lab’s web site.

Please send a short summary of your field of interests and a CV to lab@tintarts.org
