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.

## RhizMail 0.1.1

I’ve just released the newest version of RhizMail, the email library we use at Rhizome. Most of the changes are minor, but one bigger change is making it easier to parameterize a child of SimpleTemplateMessage.

For example, You can still create a SimpleTemplateMessage directly:

`msg = RhizMail::SimpleTemplateMessage.new(
:to_address => 'john.doe@email.com',
:from_address => 'webmaster@website.com',
:template_file => '/Users/francis/Desktop/template.txt'
)
msg.substitute( 'email', 'john.doe@email.com' )
msg.substitute( 'password', 'p4ssw0rd' )
msg.deliver`

But you can also create a child, parameterizing it with class methods:

`class IntroEmail < RhizMail::SimpleTemplateMessage
from_address 'webmaster@website.com'
template '/Users/francis/Desktop/template.txt'
substitute 'email', Proc.new { |msg| msg.user.email }
substitute 'password', Proc.new { |msg| msg.user.password }
attr_reader :user
def initialize( user )
@user = user
super( :to_address => user.email )
end
end
User = Struct.new( :email, :password )
u = User.new( 'john.doe@email.com', 'p4ssw0rd' )
email = IntroEmail.new u`

## Kuspit on digital art

I’ve only read the first two grafs. I totally agree with this:

> The status and significance of the image changes in postmodern digital art: the image becomes a secondary manifestation — a material epiphenomen, as it were — of the abstract code, which becomes the primary vehicle of creativity. Before, the creation of material images was the primary goal of visual art, and the immaterial code that guided the process was regarded as secondary. Now, the creation of the code — more broadly, the concept — becomes the primary creative act. The image no longer exists in its own right, but now exists only to make the invisible code visible, whatever the material medium. It makes no difference to the code whether it appears as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image.

## You Do Not Know What You Are Talking About #mtaa

Dates:
Sat Oct 02, 2010 00:00 - Wed Sep 29, 2010

Location:
United States of America

Two performances!
Watch it live on-line here! http://mtaa.net/art/ydk
Saturday at 2:45PM Eastern Time and Sunday at 3:45PM as part of Filament Festival.
Two performances!
+++
We, like you, have often wished while listening to a lecture, panel, speech or newscast to stand up and tell the speaker, "You do not know what you are talking about!"
The artists sit behind a desk with two laptops and two microphones before them. Behind them a projection screen displays the text "#mtaa" and a timer.
They announce the title of the performance, "You Do Not Know What You Are Talking About," and explain that for the duration of the performance, they will read any, only and all text sent to Twitter with the hash tag "#mtaa."
The audience is invited to start twittering.
MTAA need your tweets!
Watch it live on-line here! http://mtaa.net/art/ydk

## ARTBarn, East

Dates:
Fri Oct 01, 2010 00:00 - Wed Sep 29, 2010

Location:
United States of America

http://artbarn.mtaa.net/
Artists MTAA are conducting an old-fashioned barn-raising using high-tech techniques. The general public group-decides design, architectural, structural and aesthetic choices using a commercially-available barn-making kit as the starting point.
The duo then conducts this 21st century barn-raising with volunteers — perhaps including you — on October 1, 2010 on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's campus. Will it be structure? A deconstructed sculpture? Some combination thereof? That's for the you to choose.
