" It is important that one can see the framing and the projection itself; the possible manipulation und fragility of the chosen movies are central, fitting perfectly to the slightly melancholic music. In this way the video tells of saying goodbye: of memories and untroubled quality of the material, in the end of »old« media and its representation of the world. "

" The works of Tina Frank cannot be reduced to a singular area: she is a »visual artist« – her name is internationally known as a synonym for experimental design as well as visualisations of music/for music.

In 1995, Tina Frank started up her own business as a designer and was soon referred to as one of Austria’s shooting stars in web design. She designs »packing« for music. Many of her cover designs, especially those for music labels Mego (Austria) und Idea Records (USA) have been published in numerous design reference works and are considered influential. The book »Graphic Design for the 21st Century« (Charlotte & Peter Fiell, Taschen Verlag) listed her among the top 100 graphic designers worldwide. Tina Frank has taught various multimedia-related subjects at Austrian universities of applied science.

Parallel to graphic design the topic »video« (moving pictures) plays an important role. »One of the most prominent pioneers of new experimental video in Europe« (quote from Avantofestival 2003). The DVD »Fuzzy Motion – Pictures without legs 1995-2002« was published in 2002 at Gas in Japan. In autumn 2006 »fateless« (Music by Oren Ambarchi & Martin Ng) was released by the legendary music label Asphodel in the USA.

Performances and contributions to exhibitions, such as Ars Electronica, Linz; Centre Pompidou, Paris; or ICC, Tokyo, and many interviews in magazines are evidence of Tina Frank’s activities as a design and video artist.
In 2003, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, curated a solo show at the New Media Centre. In 2005, the festival »sync – Electronic Music & Digital Arts« in Athens presented a major work exhibition with 25 large format prints & videos. The video chronomops received first prize in 2006 at »diagonale 06« for best innovative, experimental-, animation- or shortfilm 2005/2006. "
