[Natalie Gravenor]

PRESS RELEASE

SAVE THE DATE – VOD platform realeyz.tv presents new Art Channels for 
media artists at CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related 
Arts on February 5, 2012

Online since 2009, the Berlin-based video on demand platform realeyz.tv 
presents acclaimed arthouse films and creative documentaries from around 
the world. realeyz.tv's catalogue also includes works which cross genre 
boundaries and explore the artistic possibilities of film and video.

Now, realeyz.tv has just launched an Art Channel section devoted to 
presenting media art – from Super 8 films to digital animation – for 
online viewing. Later this year we will also offer high quality files on 
storage media which themselves are limited edition art objects, signed 
by the artist.

realeyz.tv is proud to present the emerging Art Channels at the 
screening and talk: “ALL ACCESS OR LIMITED EDITION? ONLINE PRESENTATION 
OF MEDIA ART”, on February 5, 2012,15:00, at Kunstraum Kreuzberg. The 
presentation is an official event of CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous 
Music and Related Arts, and part of the Ghosts Off the Shelf exhibition. 
Corresponding with the themes of CTM.12, our event explores aspects of 
using digital means to rescue analogue works from oblivion. Another 
focus will be on the various models for presenting media art online: 
from free online archives on the one side, to fee based download-to-own 
products that give artists remuneration for their work. realeyz.tv's Art 
Channels aim to provide revenue opportunities for artists. This event is 
also geared to reach out to media artists interested in presenting their 
work online.

Two artists associated with the realeyz.tv Art Channel will screen 
samples of their work:

› Media artist Jakobine Engel presents excerpts of her work in both 
Super 8 and video that deal with Berlin as a divided city during the 
Cold War and the aftermath after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

› Musician/composer and CTM.12 performer Manuel Göttsching will show a 
rarely seen gem taken from his own extensive performances and art 
happenings video archives from 1970s and 1980s West Berlin. Following 
the screening, the artists will be available for Q&A with the audience.

Hosting this event is Mario Mentrup (filmmaker/actor/musician/art 
journalist/publisher). Mentrup has co-directed such films as The Eagle 
Is Gone and I Do Adore, and is also a member of the band Pasadena 
Project. He also writes and broadcasts about art and culture for 
reboot.fm and Flux.fm.
