DAVID
GUEZ
TELEWEB.ORG is a public Media Art project that enables free access to
the creation of Web-TV and Web-Radio.
With the help of the guide on the website, it is possible to create one's
own media and implement software, featuring the common audiovisual formats
on the web (Realvideo, MP3, Quicktime, MPEG ...).
At the same time one preserves one's personal homepage, thus maintaining
the liberty to choose a server and thereby the right to control one's
own Artproject.
When enrolling in Teleweb.org, you will receive an email with a password
and a link to your site (www.teleweb.org/selfmedia/mapage.htm). You can
insert this site in your personal or professional webpage. You also have
the choice to place your website on the Teleweb portal.
SELF-MEDIA
Self-Media follows the idea that everyone can create their own media Artprojects
with the latest technologies without having to deal with the costs of
material and software.
Self-Media sees the Internet as a tool to serve the community, enhancing
an exchange of knowledge. Its idea is to bring new forms of economic and
social behavior to the world of media.
Teleweb is a starting point to bring about a change in the traditional
media cycle (production, distribution, diffusion ...). It is a proposition
of a media Artproject positioned in the public space of the world wide
web.
Teleweb is an extension of a media Artproject that David Guez has developed
over the past 2 years and which focuses on alternatives to classic media
forms. Several projects with independent audiovisual solutions and free
access to the internet have already been made public: www.tv-art.net;
web-tv, which thematises contemporary art; and bewac, which offers the
possibility to listen to the accompanying sound on the web via telephone.
This project consciously goes against existing mentalities of certain
enterprises in these sectors.
The first version of Teleweb attempts to conjugate the independence of
the creative individual with the free choice to diffuse information on
a common site and/or on a personal webpage.
Teleweb is a non profit project, branded copyleft and has more than 1000
webchannels.
