DIY Tagtool

Mapping Festival in Geneva is an international cultural event dedicated to VJing and its neighboring disciplines. This year, the Tagtool community is taking over the space of La Fonderie Kugler for three days of workshops, jam sessions, performances and celebration. Come and join us for this special occasion – we have something you should see. Read on for more info and the full program.

Last November we organized an event at Kunstwerkstatt in Tulln, Austria, offering different workshops in various electronic art forms. Here are four short clips by participants of the Tagtool workshop.

In summer 2011, psychedelic rock band Supra+ teamed up with Tagtoolista Frances Sander. Check out the images and videos in our feature about their collaboration.

7 Sessions is a series of improvised live animation episodes made with Tagtool, all recorded in two days in November 2011. Read on for the other videos.

Tagtool MX is a project developed by Mauricio Gomez Tagtool “Maw” (@ magopo) and designed by Jim Catan (@ Chemical_burn) of Cholula hackerspaces. At Tagtool MX they build custom made ready-to-use Tagtool consoles (in various materials, sizes and left-or-right-handed orientation).

Frances and Dima participated at the Lunchmeat Festival in Prague – showing the audience different ways of live-performances. From outdoor projection bombings to a very impressive gallery session on the roof terrace at DOX Gallery.

With styles ranging from classical and early folk to chanson, punk, noise, jazz, and experimental music, Maja Osojnik and her Band have given European audiences dynamic and dramaturgically elaborate live performances.

Dima has just finished making me this super powerful new All-in-one Tagtool (and it’s left handed of course!). I’m so pleased with it that I thought I’d do a posting showing how he made it.
