A media company with a past and a future
LTC Corporation grew out of LostTapeCult, an initiative dedicated to collecting and preserving audiovisual media. The corporate identity brings archives, new productions and electronic media personalities under one roof.
The Corporation does not intend to remain a mere archive. It aims to produce programming, formats and technical systems of its own. The exact scale of these ambitions remains a matter of strategic consideration.
The Corporation
LTC Corporation combines an unusual inheritance: generations of image production and distribution, a later audiovisual archive, independent real-time technology and two electronic personalities whose interpretations of corporate order are not entirely aligned.
We regard media as a chain rather than isolated products. An image is created, circulated, stored, forgotten, rediscovered and transmitted again. Management has identified each step as a potential division.
From St. Gallen Forward
Family records lead from Gustav Baumgardt's lithographic workshop through Schwalbenverlag and STAR Videothek to LostTapeCult. This does not amount to one uninterrupted legal company history. The Corporation nevertheless maintains that a compelling sense of continuity should not be defeated by a missing registration document.
