“The road begins from here. Teletext is the future.” Artist Janne Suni May 2012

Teletext, first invented some 30 years ago, utilizes the “vertical blanking 
interval” lines that together form the dark band dividing pictures horizontally 
on the television screen. Technically it has remained almost unchanged until 
recently when TV became digital. Teletext being an amazing success story still 
attracts millions of visitors daily for the latest news headlines, weather 
reports or sports results. Hust ARD text alone has

The potential of Teletext as an tool for artistic expression has not yet been 
fully discovered though the aesthetics of Teletext have slowly creeped in to 
the most fashionable street ware, graffiti and fine art. Is the next big word 
in intellectual small talk of the hip, rich and famous going to be 
teletextualism? Time will show.  Since it happens The International Teletext 
Art Festival gives the possibility to the ARD Text users to view some of the 
latest works on the Teletext scene and decide for them selves.

Participating artists: Ashley Anderson, Bym, Frederic Cambus, Max Capacity, 
Cordula Ditz, Maria Duncker, Dan Farrimond, Kathrin Günter, Francis Hunger, 
Juha van Ingen, Raquel Meyers, Dave Needham, Rich Oglesby, Seppo Renvall, Janne 
Suni, Jarkko Räsänen and Kari Yli-Annala
