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.”

## Politics That Makes Peace With the Beauty of Objects

Politics That Makes Peace With the Beauty of Objects
By HOLLAND COTTER
Rudely, crudely put, political art is bad art; in fact, it isn't art at
all. It's preaching in a fancy form. Conversely, art about art, about
craft and transcendence and Beauty with capital B, is just so much
cultural junk food, empty calories for empty-headed people, nothing
more.
These two views have faced off in opposing corners of the art world
boxing ring for the better part of a century, ever since Marcel
Duchamp, the Muhammad Ali of Western modernism, came floating and
stinging onto the scene and messed with the protocols and the
expectations of the game. And whether the resulting standoff is billed
as politics versus pleasure, or ideas versus objects, it is almost
always seen as a bout between Progressive and Conservative.
Pleasure and objects, the old faithfuls of aestheticism, are currently
ascendant in New York art, thanks to recent strenuous campaigning on
their behalf. And what are the champions of traditional values trying
to conserve? Among other things, the golden, olden, pre-postmodern
days, when art meant Fine Art and was made, admired and acquired by a
discriminating few.
Those were the days before the Conceptualism of the late 1960's, one of
postmodernism's utopian main events, thoroughly scrambled the
definition of art as we knew it. They were also the days before digital
technology

## testing ISP Censorship

from slashdots summary:
"As part of a research project, Christian Ahlert ran an interesting
experiment. He posted John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, which is clearly
in the public domain, on different ISPs. He then sent the ISPs phony
copyright violation notices. The results are troubling, with ISPs
"acting as judge, jury and private investigator at the same time."
