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: notes on PNG

MSIE 5.x on Mac supports PNG alpha transparency, so using the method
described in the URL above we achieve a cross-platform effect on MSIE.

(look at me, responding to my own post, what a loser)
i've tested this with Mozilla 1.0 Mac and Netscape 7.0 Preview
Release on Windows and it works with those browsers as well. It
should work with Netscape 6.x on Mac too (since it works with
Mozilla) but i haven't tested it.
PNG has arrived; kill yer GIFs.

hi jess,
i agree. one needs a fair amount of hardware and software just to get to
the stage where one would integrate it into the MX authoring environment
to do interactive bullet time stuff.
~but~
i wasn't necessarily saying that artists should do this Matrix-style
thing (tho i wasn't clear), which is being done to death in movies,
videos, and commercials anyway.
there are lots of other possibilities that don't involve anymore than a
vid camera and flashMX mixed with creativity and actionscript knowledge.
i can't list them because i don't know what they are; i was looking
forward to a net / web artist doing something innovative with it and no
one seems to have done anything yet.
but i'm sure someone will and it will be much more interesting than
interactive bullet time.
Having said that

back in the earlier days of net / web art the artists *were* the
innovators. look at requiem for a dream's site... could it have looked
so cool and hip without net artist's exploring the aesthetic before the
commercial project? imo no.

## Flash Explores New Angles

Flash Explores New Angles
Macromedia's Flash MX allows users to do a number of cool tricks,
including switching instantaneously between video clips.
http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,54599,00.html
++
this isn't the best article but it remindend me that when i first read
flash MX's specs i was excited about what i imagined net / web artists
might do with video and actionscript. and i'm dissappointed that i
haven't seen anything yet.
one might say, "well twhid, where is *your* new cool interactive video
flash shiznitz?" and my reply would be, "errr, ummm" so yeah, i'm part
of the problem (tho, in my defence, MTAA have been working on big
installation project and we did take advantage of MX's ability to
dynamically load MP3s with this piece: http://www.mteww.com/RAM/)
i was hoping net / web artists would blaze the way but it seems to be
that the commercial work is more experimental.
why do you think no net / web artists are exploring these new
possibilities? or are they and i've missed it; URLs? (please hold your
flash is evil corporate software comments; they're tiresome)

## Re: The Artist speaking of his Brushes

i agree with chris. for example, the piece with 2 cyborgs making love
seems to me to be about tech, no?
from the article:
One of the pieces in the man and machine group is Cyborg Sex Manual,
from WRO (Poland), where the spectator becomes a voyeur watching two
cyborgs. Created by Peter Style, in association with Rafal Ewertowski
(3-D modeling) and Michale van der Hagen (interaction programming),
Cyborg Sex Manual is dedicated to young cyborgs.
it's hook is the tech (ie cyborg).
anyway...
it's a good idea to start working with subject matter and content
that has nothing to do with tech.
at eyebeam a while back was exhibited one of the most successful new
media works using tech transparently. a video installation which
consisted of a projection on the floor of figures walking about in
urban settings created using motion capture and 3D modeling and
animation. the vantage point was from far overhead and the illusion
was very clever. the walking figures would create dance-like patterns
now and then. it was riveting. but i can't find the name of the piece
or the artists with a quick search.. sorry.
