Crane.tv is a premium online video magazine for contemporary culture, founded by German media entrepreneur Constantin Bjerke. Established in 2008, Crane.tv's new video magazine website officially launched in October 2010 with an exclusive on Konstantin Grcic, announcing his ‘Designer of the Year’ award for Design Miami.

Style
The videos on Crane.tv are a mixture between informative journalism and artistic sensibility unusual to the digital media industry. Covering several formats, they offer a different perspective on contemporary culture: conceptual art&fashion shorts as well as studio visits, behind the scenes investigations, city profiles and in-depth interviews.

Content
Crane.tvis a video only online platform for all sorts of content on contemporary culture. The magazine's core aim is to push forward emerging and to show established artists in a different light. The content is aimed at a digital audience, globally. To date, the magazine has produced 700+ videos on the latest trends in Art, Design, Fashion, Lifestyle and Travel.

Often providing a platform for up-and-coming talent, the magazine brought about features such as an exclusive on Luke Matheny's God of Love who later won the 2011 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short and an intimate studio visit with Mancunian pop-rock band Everything Everything, voted Best New Band at the Shockwaves NME Awards late 2010. With a different, perhaps more creative approach to digital media, Crane.tv has featured stories on artists the likes of Gilbert&George, Ron Arad, Cut Copy, Nicola Formichetti for Mugler and Vivienne Westwood.

Recent collaborations have been with other publications such as Huffington Post, Wallpaper* Magazine, New York Times Style Magazine, Harpers Bazaar UK and the International Herald Tribune.
