I spent this past weekend at Ateliér Libušín, located in the small village of Libušín, Czech for this years edition of the TagTool sessions.
Ateliér Libušín is also the home of Francis and Dima, whom I first became aware of from the Wall Of Light video.
On hand for the sessions was the entire OMA international family along with a hand full of musicians. There was lots of cooking and chatting and drinking, and more importantly TagTool.
For the first night Francis suggested we set up in the back yard because it was so nice out and the following evening there was a prediction of rain. On hand were three large plastic panels that were propped up, projectors turned on and off we went with two TagTool stations, one of them plugged in via a Dima invention using VVVV keyed into the other for some dual TagTooling.

The following evening we all went into the studio and a secret project involving an iPad was introduced into the mix. In the images above and below, left side is TagTool and right side is the ______ running on the iPad.

Not shown here at all are the experiments where the ______ on the iPad sent its drawings to the MadMapper using Syphon.
When the geekery concluded we settled into a multi-tagtool session…
