BIO

Artists M. River and T. Whid formed MTAA in 1996 and soon after began to explore the internet, video, software and sculpture as mediums for their conceptually-based art. The duo’s exhibition history includes group shows and screenings at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Postmasters Gallery and Artists Space, all in New York City, and at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006), authors Mark Tribe and Reena Jana describe MTAA’s "One Year Performance Video (aka samHsiehUpdate)" as “a deftly transparent demonstration of new media’s ability to manipulate our perceptions of time.” The collaboration has earned grants and awards from Creative Capital, Rhizome.org, Eyebeam, New Radio & Performing Arts, Inc. and The Whitney Museum of American Art.

## TRACEPLACESPACE

New audio by Cary Peppermint, check it out…
+++
TRACEPLACESPACE
seven audio works .mp3 - Cary Peppermint 2007

The audio works of TRACEPLACESPACE were formed loosely in response to ever-accelerating technological developments, passing time, urgent ecological issues, and remarkable events of our globally connected system in process long before but brought to the forefront since the latter part of the year 2001. The works of TRACEPLACESPACE are components of a digital, multi-media, network-infused performance of the same title.
I like to perform this work in small community venues, outdoor gatherings, art-spaces, and galleries where everyone is welcome and can sit on the floor, talk to one another, and drink green tea. However I will perform TRACEPLACESPACE approximately anywhere.

## Filming Outside the Cinema

I have to admit that I'd not given much thought to film outside the cinema, web film or live video, or anything like that, but I've spent lots of time here hanging out with Peter Horvath and I'm impressed.
Peter makes very beautiful films for the web, and you can check them all out online. Today he showed us The Presence of Absence, which was comissioned for the Whitney Museum's Artport in 2003, and then Tenderly Yours from 2005, which "resituates the personal, casual and ambiguous approach of French new wave cinema in a net art narrative that explores love, loss and memory. The story is recited by a striking and illustrious persona, who moves through the city with her lover. Her willful independence is intoxicating, though her sense of self is ambiguous..." Gorgeous.

## Cut Piece - Yoko Ono

Cut Piece (2006, 36.5MB, 9 min)

“Ono had first done the performance in 1964, in Japan,
and again at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965.
Ono sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience
to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts
at the moment of unbosoming.”

## Re: ArtExpo 2005 by Luca Curci in Italy

sorry about being unclear, I meant specifically fees to *show* the work.
Obviously artists will many times need to swallow their own production
costs, especially in group shows.
I've paid to frame and even ship work, but you need to feel it out. If
you're uncomfortable with a situation, there probably is a good reason.
In this case, it sounds like the artist needs to
1) pay for framing if they need it
2) pay for shipping and insurance
3) pay to hang it!
That's bullshit, no matter how you cut it. Plus the quality of the work
was dismal, why would you want to be in a show like that?

Simple rule: don't pay to play. ever.
Look at the work in the gallery. It's horrid. This is a vanity show.
Stay away. Don't waste your money.

## Re: Re:the rapture and anti-environmentalism

xx going way, way off the subject of new media art xx
++++
I would be interested to hear from Curt, who seems to be (perhaps not
moderate, but at least) a rational christian, why do oppose gay
marriage?
Is it simply because of the 'abomination' passage in the bible? If so,
how do you square the fact that it seems that there are plenty of laws
in the old testament of the bible that modern christians happily
ignore.
But yet they get stuck on this one. I'm curious why.
I won't reply or try to argue with you (we've both over the years
probably come to the conclusion that that is not very productive on
either side).
Just curious.
If you feel open, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on
evolution as well. The opposition to which I don't understand one bit.
Being raised catholic and attending catholic schools, I can tell you
that evolution and catholicism seem to coexist with no problem.
take care,

But their supposed 'values' are creating real, live hardship to others.
They are oppressing them by attempting to deprive them of rights that
themselves enjoy.
The morality of bigots doesn't rate high on my radar of things that
need protecting anyway no matter how many of them there are.

It isn't.
Two people not allowed to be married have much more than their morality
violated.. their property rights are violated, their privacy rights are
violated, their right to happiness is violated, their right to medical
care could be violated, etc.
Violating a person's right to make medical decisions regarding her own
body has obvious implications beyond the women's morality.
