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: Membership fee?

Then someone suggested charging a membership fee. This idea has been
proposed before, and I have always opposed it. Rhizome is for
everyone, I argued, not just for those who can afford it. I argued
that we'd lose thousands of members and that our community would
become less diverse.
I want to go on record to say that I have proposed this before to
Tribe and basically was publicly scolded for even thinking about it
:-}
i'm guessing this isn't mark's idea. he does have a board to answer to...
and he's mentioned before that the board has brought it up and he
shoots it down every time, seems that things may be a bit more
desperate this time.
i am not optimistic about a fee. perhaps keeping the site free but
opting for a shareware model. annoying waits and pop ups might get
people to contribute, esp. if it's only 5-10 USD.
salon.com gets some 3 million unique visits a month, yet they only
had 50k members the last time they made it public (few months back)
what's the percentage? 1.5%?
on the other hand, kur5hin.org made a plea for membership and scored
35k USD in under 2 weeks.
it's hard to tell what will happen. perhaps a marketing consultant
along with a consultant in art institutional fund-raising would be a
wise investment.

## Re: RE: Manufacturing Dissent

Hi Marc;
I was invited to attend a protest rally in Washington DC this
weekend. I've never been to one. But something I've noticed is that
whenever I see them on TV, people are dressed really casually.
Because I was thinking that if I went I would wear a suit and tie,
just because every person you see at a rally in dreadlocks and an
anarchy tee shirt is one guy whose opinion doesn't matter as far as
the media and centrist americans are concerned. If we had 40,000
protesters in clean hair cuts and respectable suits getting arrested
there would be greater resistance to the war, I bet you a zillion
dollars. Maybe I'm cynical but the pro-war guys have a massive
advantage in the public relations department and I think it's stupid
to let them have it when all we have to do is tiny things like dress
better, like, seriously, we do it for job interviews, why don't we do
it when there are thousands of lives at stake?
this is great eryk, i'm taking your advice the next time i go to one
of these things.
i went to the anti-war/peace demo in central park a few weeks back.
(m.river's gal (who is a hippy ;-) was taking him and since i'm
anti-iraqwar II "The Revenge of The Shrub" i went along.)
funny thing was, as we were walking to the rally i made the
observation that what bothered me most about these things was the
kooks they let on stage, every far left-wing (considering myself
near-left to middle) wacko gets their minute to push their funky
agendas. it's a totally non-mainstream chorus line of BS. and wonder
of wonders, we get some stupid idiot (from the communist youth party
no-less) yelling about the "motherfucking" capitalist pigs. she was a
stereotype of a cliche of a cartoon, it was ridiculous.
anyway, later i saw this on salon, so i post it now:
Peace kooks
The new antiwar movement is in danger of being hijacked by bizarre
extremist groups -- and most protesters don't even know it.
http://archive.salon.com/politics/feature/2002/10/16/protest/index.html
if you can't get in (salon is subscription only on some stories), let
me know and i'll email it to individuals. if enough people are
interested i'll post it to the list.

## Re: Membership fee?

Mark,
You MUST fix the bugs on the web site before the fee is instituted.
It's extremely buggy on anything other than IE/Win. I volunteer to
rewrite the front-end in clean, contemporary xhtml/css.
I don't see a problem with the fee, but I contribute more than the
proposed fee every year voluntarily.
I would be interested in what people who would be totally against the
fee have to say. esp those who take advantage of raw. but i don't see
why you would keep RAW free, it's a service like any other.
what about all the people who are happily syndicating Net Art News? do
they keep it for free (as it functions sorta like an ad for rhiz)?

## PBS TO AIR EVIDENCE BUSH STOLE 2000 ELECTION

PALAST INVESTIGATION OF FLORIDA VOTE THEFT TO AIR ON PBS, FEATURED AT
HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Two films, Counting on Democracy and Unprecedented, premier this month
In the face of the controversial decision by the PBS network to
refuse to transmit the investigative report, the nation's top PBS
stations will independently broadcast COUNTING ON DEMOCRACY.
Directed by Emmy-award winner Danny Schechter, the 57-minute
documentary follows BBC television reporter Greg Palast as he
discovers how Katherine Harris removed up to 57,000 legal voters from
registries n most black n five months before the 2000 election.
While the public broadcast network chiefs refused to schedule this
important report, WNET (New York), KCET (Los Angeles), KQED (San
Francisco) and dozens more are insisting on showing the exposE before
the mid-term elections. (See full schedule at
http://www.GregPalast.com.) The film will be featured this Sunday
at the Hamptons International Film Festival.
***
Martin Sheen and Greg Palast share "Americas" award
On November 2, Palast will join West Wing star Martin Sheen in Los
Angeles where they will share an award from the human rights group
Office of the Americas. The group cites Palast's investigations of
the coup in Venezuela and World Bank destruction of the Argentine
economy reported for Britain's prestigious Guardian newspapers and
BBC Television's Newsnight.
Those wishing to attend the Palast-Sheen award ceremony ($100
including dinner, $35 without), contact Office of the Americas at

UNPRECEDENTED
A second film on the scandal of the vote theft in Florida,
UNPRECEDENTED, opens this month in national screenings sponsored by
People for the American Way, the NAACP and The Nation. The Robert
Greenwald Produciton includes exclusive footage from Palast's
confrontations with Katherine Harris' vote fixers. Palast will join
directors Joan Sekler and Richard Perez at the New York opening. For
schedules and tickets, go to http://www.Unprecedented.org.

Censored in the USA
California State University's Journalism Department's Project
Censored named his Guardian report on President Bush and bin Laden as
one of the top five suppressed news stories of 2001.
For the complete schedule of showings of Counting on Democracy, for
Unprecedented, and for RealVideo clips of Palast's own reports and
his writings, visit http://www.GregPalast.com.
