About ambientTV.NET

ambientTV.NET was founded in London in 1999 for the
conception and production of collaborative,
interdisciplinary, and critical artworks, events, and
media projects. The organisation, which is
incorporated as a limited company, evolved first into
an experimental hybrid-media hub and website, and
later into a fully-fledged interdisciplinary arts
production company and artist-run space in East
London.

Our work draws together many genres, including video,
sound, net and software art, dance, documentary,
installation, and cuisine. In  2002­2004, we focused
on telematic dance/theatre, locative media, and
responsive environments. We are committed to
developing a resource-efficient arts practice with a
global sensibility, realised through independent,
open, and locally-accented infrastructure.

Projects include Broadbandit Highway (2001), an online
road movie repurposing internet streams from traffic
surveillance cameras around the world; AV Dinners, a
multi-sensory live and streaming gastronomic event;
The Spy School (2002, continuing), a series of 
‘exercises’ examining the implications of surveillance
technology; Triptychon (2003­4), a performance for
dancer and roaming writer linking a location-aware
media environment with the urban situation outdoors.
Triptychon developed out of the

Telejam series (2001), a platform for streaming media
jam sessions between audio-visual artists in different
locations, and developed into Myriorama (2004), a
dance performance deploying locative media and 
motion-tracking technologies as narrative devices.

ambientTV.NET has performed or presented work at FACT
(Liverpool), Kiasma Theatre (Helsinki), Lyon Opera
House, Queen Elizabeth Hall London, Tate Modern, and
at festivals and symposia including Ars Electronica 
(Linz), Art+Communication (Riga), ISEA 2004, Pixelache
(Helsinki), South Asian

Aesthetics Unwrapped! (London), Trafalgar Square
Summer Festival, Video As Urban Condition (London),
Switch (Chiang Mai), Viper (Basel).

Mukul Patel is artistic co-director and inhouse
composer at ambientTV.NET. Sound and word are points
of focus; informed by a background in sciences and
Indian music, his work plays along the borders between
music and noise, rule-bound forms and chance, and
technology and tradition. Mukul has worked extensively
with dance in a range of environments, from electronic
music clubs in the 1990s, through to more formal
settings by contemporary choreographers such as
Russell Maliphant, Shobana Jeyasingh, and Akram Khan.

Manu Luksch, founder member and artistic co-director,
studied Fine Arts in Vienna and Bangkok, and was
artistic director of the Media Lab Munich before she
moved to London. Her current project, Faceless, is
compiled from surveillance video footage recovered
under the UK’s Data Protection act, weaving fictive
narratives from "Big Brother"’s cinema verité. The
film explores urban fantasy and subjectivity under the
regime of closed circuit TV, personal stereo and the
multitude of ways we now leave data-traces and are
tracked through the city.
