SPLINTERMIND / beeoff / randomstudio

Splintermind function as a streaming site for real time art and music.
Through the labels nonTVTVstation and randomstudio, we broadcast live
sessions with artists, musicians and Dj's on the Internet. We also
broadcast in mpeg-quality, via broadband, to a number of museums in
Scandinavia.

Today we produce live-art 24 hours a day (nonTVTVstation), in a studio in
Stockholm and exhibit it, in full video-quality in "small-cinemas", at
contemporary art institutions museums in Finland, Sweden and Denmark and at five County Museums, in an unbroken distribution chain. We also co-operates with institutions in Quebec, Tokyo and New York. Broadcasts of live music combined with live video is also performed (randomstudio).

The art shown at nonTVTVstation could be live-performances, robots,
special software programs, video installation etc, but all with two
restrictions - it must be produced live in some way, and should last for
approximately one month.
