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

## Re: Host This Concept: I Rock America and America Rocks Me

Hi curt,
MTAA wishes they could help out, but sleeping isn't allowed in our studio. Plus, when signing the lease they explicitly told us that we couldn't shoot porn videos there either. Kind of a strange clause, but it didn't stop us from peeing in a bucket for 1YPV. I guess that's not porn though.
Anyway, our studio's in Brooklyn, which all the Manhattan snobs will remind you IS NOT New York City. It's Brooklyn damnit!
A small suggestion, if you truly wish to attain hardcore-ness (hardcore-itude?), you could come to NYC, play on the corner in front of a blue-chip Chelsea (57th st. is another option of course) gallery of your choice, and stay at the YMCA.
Or better yet, play in the subway for change. In August in NYC that would be pretty hardcore because you'd probably die of heat exhaustion without a few gallons of water. Unless you did it on the actual trains, they're air conditioned. But the cops might bust you for that.
This reminds me of the mennonites (at least I assume they were mennonites) that would preach on the corner of Broad and High St. in Columbus, OH when I was in college. They were so cute. They preached as a whole family and they had a boy, probably around 12 or 13. They would stay pressed against the wall in single file, but take turns stepping into the sidewalk with bible held high and yell verses at the passersby. I remember seeing the young kid do it, the smile on his face after he did it. It looked to me like he was so happy and proud -- like he was shy, but he worked up the courage to scream some truth (as he perceived it) to the infidels streaming by in the Big City.

## Re: Re: Mac + Intel??

One other thing that came out during the keynote yesterday was lots of details regarding how podcasts will be integrated into iTunes.
THIS was very exciting to me. The implementation looks great.
You watch the speech via Apple's site here:
http://stream.apple.akadns.net/
To sum it up (if I'm remembering correctly), one can access podcasts via the iTunes Music Store. You see a big juicy iTMS-like page of all sorts of available podcasts, when you subscribe, the podcase becomes something like a special playlist that lives in the left-hand column with your other playlists, smartlists, etc.

## Re: Re: Mac + Intel??

Hi Jason,
Being a cross-platform type you should be especially happy. Most things I'm reading speculate that you'll be able to run Virtual PC on a Mac with no performance hit. So basically, unless MS quashes it, you can run both OSs on Apple hardware -- making your life easier most likely.
There a bunch of other reasons that folks are interested but there's so much cover elsewhere...
As far as net art (or even software art) is concerned, I don't see any big implications, I'm more interested from the craftsman-concerned-about-his-tools perspective.

## Re: Re: Re: Re: raw.rss

Hi Francis,
Either I'm the most horribly vague and foggy author ever, or you
misread me. It's probably the former.
I didn't even consider having the form actually in the feed (tho that
could be super cool). All I was suggesting is that you put the form at
the bottom of the thread page on rhiz's site. Currently one needs to
click the 'post a reply' button to leave a reply. You could have a
default form at the bottom of the page for a user to just add to the
thread. Saves a click once you get to the site, that's all :-)
Otherwise, it's great! I loves my RSS.
