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.”

## NYTimes.com Article: Stating the Obvious

This article from NYTimes.com
has been sent to you by twhid@mteww.com.
if you live in the US you might want to read Krugman. His columns along with dystopia fantasies such as 'Oryx and Crake' are starting to make me scared as hell.

Stating the Obvious
May 27, 2003
By PAUL KRUGMAN
"The lunatics are now in charge of the asylum." So wrote
the normally staid Financial Times, traditionally the voice
of solid British business opinion, when surveying last
week's tax bill. Indeed, the legislation is doubly absurd:
the gimmicks used to make an $800-billion-plus tax cut
carry an official price tag of only $320 billion are a
joke, yet the cost without the gimmicks is so large that
the nation can't possibly afford it while keeping its other
promises.
But then maybe that's the point. The Financial Times
suggests that "more extreme Republicans" actually want a
fiscal train wreck: "Proposing to slash federal spending,
particularly on social programs, is a tricky electoral
proposition, but a fiscal crisis offers the tantalizing
prospect of forcing such cuts through the back door."
Good for The Financial Times. It seems that stating the
obvious has now, finally, become respectable.
It's no secret that right-wing ideologues want to abolish
programs Americans take for granted. But not long ago, to
suggest that the Bush administration's policies might
actually be driven by those ideologues - that the
administration was deliberately setting the country up for
a fiscal crisis in which popular social programs could be
sharply cut - was to be accused of spouting conspiracy
theories.
Yet by pushing through another huge tax cut in the face of
record deficits, the administration clearly demonstrates
either that it is completely feckless, or that it actually
wants a fiscal crisis. (Or maybe both.)
Here's one way to look at the situation: Although you
wouldn't know it from the rhetoric, federal taxes are
already historically low as a share of G.D.P. Once the new
round of cuts takes effect, federal taxes will be lower
than their average during the Eisenhower administration.
How, then, can the government pay for Medicare and Medicaid
- which didn't exist in the 1950's - and Social Security,
which will become far more expensive as the population
ages? (Defense spending has fallen compared with the
economy, but not that much, and it's on the rise again.)
The answer is that it can't. The government can borrow to
make up the difference as long as investors remain in
denial, unable to believe that the world's only superpower
is turning into a banana republic. But at some point bond
markets will balk - they won't lend money to a government,
even that of the United States, if that government's debt
is growing faster than its revenues and there is no
plausible story about how the budget will eventually come
under control.
At that point, either taxes will go up again, or programs
that have become fundamental to the American way of life
will be gutted. We can be sure that the right will do
whatever it takes to preserve the Bush tax cuts - right now
the administration is even skimping on homeland security to
save a few dollars here and there. But balancing the books
without tax increases will require deep cuts where the
money is: that is, in Medicaid, Medicare and Social
Security.
The pain of these benefit cuts will fall on the middle
class and the poor, while the tax cuts overwhelmingly favor
the rich. For example, the tax cut passed last week will
raise the after-tax income of most people by less than 1
percent - not nearly enough to compensate them for the loss
of benefits. But people with incomes over $1 million per
year will, on average, see their after-tax income rise 4.4
percent.
The Financial Times suggests this is deliberate (and I
agree): "For them," it says of those extreme Republicans,
"undermining the multilateral international order is not
enough; long-held views on income distribution also require
radical revision."
How can this be happening? Most people, even most liberals,
are complacent. They don't realize how dire the fiscal
outlook really is, and they don't read what the ideologues
write. They imagine that the Bush administration, like the
Reagan administration, will modify our system only at the
edges, that it won't destroy the social safety net built up
over the past 70 years.
But the people now running America aren't conservatives:
they're radicals who want to do away with the social and
economic system we have, and the fiscal crisis they are
concocting may give them the excuse they need. The
Financial Times, it seems, now understands what's going on,
but when will the public wake up?

## Re: FW: [dirGames-L] first Flash experience as Lingo programmer

hmmm, very interesting.
i haven't done much with director myself, and actionscript is very easy
to learn once you have the basics of similar ECMA languages, like
Javascript, and vice versa.
what are the details of the test i wonder. were these tests conducted
on EXE's or on the plugin formats in browser (or standalone viewers)?
wonder if there would be a difference. the standalone apps just
basically bundle the viewer with the piece so it prolly wouldn't
matter, but you never know.
wonder if Macromedia has any comments on this.

## Re: another petition: PNG support

I have two totally guesses:
1. Unisys is giving them handsome kickbacks on the GIF licensing.
(highly unlikely)
2. The open source nature of PNG is antithetical to MS's corporate
philosophy. MS was FORCED to allow GIF support in IE as Netscape
already had the drop on 'em. Just as they're being FORCED to use XML
because the enterprise side of computing is already heavily dependent
on it. They wouldn't support JPEG unless they were FORCED to as well,
which they were (Netscape). Does Windows Media Player even play MPEGs?
They've basically staked out a position in video which is THEM vs.
EVERYONE ELSE, that is, WMP9 (proprietary) vs. MPEG4 (industry
standard, not even open source). MS simply hates to deal in any formats
which they don't COMPLETELY own and control, they will when they have
to, but grudgingly.
Why should they support PNG in their browser when they won't make one
cent in licensing or authoring tools? It's all the bottom line for
them, they don't give a shit that it will make the web a better place
for developers, designers and users. But, hopefully, I'll have to eat
my words when the next IE comes out.
you can read some of MS's feelings regarding anything open source here:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/19396.html
(i still like the idea of back ally cash transfers tho, "ok, here's the
GIF money, make sure PNG stays dead!")
