From the manifesto of tv-tv: ‘tv-tv is independently organised television. It is not a state organisation, nor the television of the marketplace. tv-tv is a network of independent producers who all want to make television. tv-tv wants to break away from the traditional monopoly of the means of production and broadcasting rights.’ The participants regard television as an active constituent of the public space. tv-tv is an attempt to create a different kind of public space. In order to break through the monotone nature of television today, tv-tv wants to experiment, take time to investigate the possibilities of television and break with the rhythm that most broadcasting channels now offer. The participants in tv-tv do not take any notice of generalisations about what people want based on ratings. They concentrate more on investigating television as a means of communication. tv-tv wants to create an audience based on everyday experiences in Copenhagen and the rest of the world; a television channel with a short distance from street to broadcast. tv-tv does not seek to reflect society and will try to abolish the ‘viewer’ as a passive consumer.
