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: How to Display Digital Artwork in a Gallery

We're running into the same issue. CRTs suck. LCDs are cool, but expensive.
(my other gripe is that every screen comes with some company branding on it.. someone should market a gallery monitor which keeps the bezels to a minimum and completely removes any visible branding.)
Speaking in a purely pragmatic sense, it's up to digital artists to provide the hardware either by buying it themselves, getting grants and buying it, or consulting very closely with a very open-minded gallery or institution.
MTAA are planning on combing eBay for values in the LCD area as we expand our digital art practice into the gallery.

## Re: Re: Biennale Internazionale dell'arte Contemporanea?

I posted about this a while ago when someone posted a call for entries
that cost 30 bucks to enter.
In the film and graphic design industries it's common to pay fees to
enter festivals and contests. I would put the webbies in this category.
But in these industries participation in the most respected festivals
and competitions require this fee. This means you don't really have a
choice but inclusion in these sorts of festivals and contests also
guarantees industry-wide exposure so your 30 bucks is well-spent.
Inclusion in these little penny-ante art exhibitions with their 25 buck
fees guarantees you nothing. Paying 1000s of dollars to go to this
bogus biennial in Florence guarantees you even less.
