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.”

## Conglomco Media Network announces http://meta-cc.net live

Conglomco Media Network is pleased to announce the official beta release of the META[CC] video engine at http://meta-cc.net.

META[CC] seeks to create an open forum for real time discussion, commentary, and cross-refrencing of electronic news and televised media. By combining strategies employed in web-based discussion forums, blogs , tele-text subtitling, on-demand video streaming, and search engines, the open captioning format employed by META[CC] will allow users to gain multiple perspectives and resources engaging current events. The system is adaptable for use with any cable or broadcast television network.

We hope that you will take a moment from your viewing time to add the RSS feed of a blog you find noteworthy. As more information sources are supplied to META[CC], the more intelligent the system becomes. As such, the META[CC] search engine is apolitical and influenced only by the news and information sources supplied by its viewers/users. We apologize, but at this time podcasts and vlogs are not supported.

Many thanks for your interest and participation,
The META[CC] team

FWIW
I voted for you but didn't go to the site because yours was the best one
graf description I've read thus far. I really didn't feel like I needed to

## Re: Commissions

I don't agree with dv here.
As someone who got proposal fatigue fairly early in the process (I think I
went through about 20), it would be a much more enjoyable process to review
a smaller amount of higher-quality proposals.
Why would it be any worse a process if the jury took the best 25% of the
proposals and then the community could choose half and the jury could choose
half. It might be nice because Rhizome could perhaps guide this smaller
amount of applicants to have them write more informative and concise
descriptions, provide images, etc.
My main problem with the proposals is that the first paragraph in most cases
does a horrendous job of describing the project. If you want to get a grant
(esp. with the Rhiz process) you need to write one graf that describes your
project and excites the reader. If you can't do that, forget it.

## Re: Re: Stand ByYour Guns

(can't believe this is the post I'm responding too after all these weeks)
IMHO, it's clear from the historical context in which the US
constitution was written that the 2nd amendment is designed to allow
citizens' weaponry in case they need to dislodge a tyrannical gov't by
force.
Some argue that it gives only the states the right to bear arms so
that they could fight a federal gov't that grew too strong, but it
still the purpose is the same.
No mention is made of specific technology because the framers knew
that the technology would change.
PS, I'm not a right-wing wacko. I'm actually very liberal, but
generally disagree with the left as far as the 2nd amendment to the US
constitution is concerned.

## Re: software for recording screen movement?

if you're using Mac OS X the best program is Snapz Pro.
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Not cheap, but it does a fantastic job. I used it to create a little
'reel' of MTAA's net art.

## Re: Saigon Bar by Rodney Dickson- Friday, 487 Driggs, 7 - 11PM

I think they had a temp version of the bar open a few weeks back, but
it was in the loft above J the P. It brought back some fine memories*
for me as I lived in that same loft years ago and we had lots of
parties. Of course we didn't kick everyone out at midnight.
Llightweights.
