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.”

## Forget Your Troubles And ROCK!!!

Forget Your Troubles And ROCK!!!
Attended the book release party for "Sound of The
Beast"(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006052362X/
qid%3D1049659810/sr%3D2-1/ref%3Dsr_2_1/002-4251878-2558441) last night
at Club Luxx in my home neighborhood of Williamsburg. "Sound of The
Beast" is a history of Heavy Metal written by Ian Christie. The band
Boulder (http://www.bouldersragers.com/) rocked the house to the ground.
Check out the action pics here: http://www.mteww.com/heavy_metal/
btw, new White Stripes CD, Elephant, released on April 1st. It rocks as
well.

## Dia article in NYTimes Mag

xposter and i don't care
+++
The Dia Generation
URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/06/magazine/06DIA.html
++
It was nice to see an art story on the cover of the NYTime's Magazine
this week though we're all very troubled about the war and the Bush
administration's imperial ambitions (see this article for a great
overview:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2003/0304.marshall.html).
The article covers the history of The Dia center from it's inception in
the early 70s to the opening of a major new museum in upstate NY, Dia:
Beacon, which focuses on 60s/70s minimalism, conceptualism, Earth Art
and etc.
The article was a bit dry with the history of the infighting and
whatnot, but what's interesting is how the early Dia acted like
Renaissance patrons.
from the article:
'Friedrich compared what he was doing -- now with his wife's fortune --
to the Medicis. ''Dia didn't tap something new; it tapped something
old,'' he said at the time. ''Our values are as powerful as those in
the Renaissance.'' For emphasis, he added that Dan Flavin ''is as
important as Michelangelo.'''
They handpicked a few artists and supported them extravagantly for some
years giving them everything they needed to create work with no
constraints of economy, time, or space.
I wonder what our contemporary net, web, and new media artists could do
with the money, time, and space that were given to the Dia's lucky
chosen few.

Eryk,
seriously? the subject or content of a piece that an artist intends is
much different then what an artist qualitatively intends, no?

Michael is right, it's antiwar art.
I don't think it's very good antiwar art, but the piece is definitely
intended to be antiwar. IMO it's not arguable that the piece is
INTENDED to be antiwar, perhaps it could be viewed otherwise. It uses
the a very simple and overdone method of juxtaposing USA pop imagery
with the horrors of war. It's been done again and again and Joseph's
done it once again. No offense Eryk, but IMO your energy could be
better used elsewhere, like writing a piece about 'Starship Troopers'
;-)
