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

the analogy makes no sense to me. there is no reason to count (unless
it's a meditation technique). there is plenty of reason to learn
computer programming.
agreed, the average computer user isn't going to download the source
to openoffice and modify it to suit their own needs. but the
likelihood of ms modifying office to suit this user's needs are even
more unlikely.

what do you mean 'when it works'? it's extremely reliable. i'm not
talking about average users setting up apache and serving web pages
(although anyone with a macOSX and a broadband connection can). it's
the MOST USED server on the web!! so we're all using it everyday.
we're all benefiting from it's stability and security, even yolanda.

why do you claim open source is a 'hoax' when you aren't even
familiar with this software, which was featured in the NYTimes last
week. Mozilla, linux, apache, openoffice.org are not hoaxes, they're
not for the expert, and they are all FREE.

## net.art != net art

hey ivan,
i put official in quotations out of laziness. i didn't really mean
official but wasn't thinking of the proper word so put it official in
quotations.
imo net.art and net art aren't interchangeable. net art is a better
generic term for networked art activity. when i see the term net.art
i think of specific individuals (the ones mentioned and some others)
who made work under that name. i think, also, that the artists
involved in net.art didn't wish it to become a generic term meaning
networked art (correct me if i'm wrong someone). i think it's only
polite to honor their wishes.
so being that the term has specific meaning to me, and being that the
people who came up with it and used it didn't want it to be a generic
term i prefer net art or networked art for a generic term. in that
sense, net.art is a subset of net art. (i feel like i'm the one
giving the course ;-)

you are completely wrong re: open source. it's being used by millions
of people a day. ever heard of apache? the web server which serves
the majority of web pages on the internet? open source and FREE (as
in beer, and also comes built into MacOSX). i'm using Mozilla quite a
bit (free as in beer). open source browser, just released version
1.0. works great. you can download one click installs for windoze,
mac classic, Mac OSX, and linux. how bout openOffice.org? don't wanna
pay 500bucks for m$office? download a one-click install of openOffice
for FREE. opens word, excel and powerpoint files.
no computer science degree necessary to run any of this software and
they're all as good if not better than their commercially licensed
counterparts.
sure the source code is only REALLY accessible to programmers, but no
one's stopping anyone from learning how to code. it's available to
anyone if they want to figure it out. but almost every open source
project, once it gets to a certain stage, has the compiled installs
available for free to everyone.

hey laurie,
i wouldn't take any of these classes. i would guess that not many on
RAW would. many of the people on this list have been involved with
this stuff for quite a while and many are probably on the syllabus.
this will be posted to digest and you'll probably get a better
response. perhaps rhizome admin can fit it into net art news too. it
is net art newsworthy imo.
i'm curious tho, are these classes going to deal with only the
'official' net.art (cosic, shulgin, jody, lialina, etc). imo, net.art
is a very specific thing relating to a small group of artists,
whereas net art (no dot) is the generic phrase most people use to
describe art made using networks, the web, the internet etc.
what would i be interested in? technical classes.
PHP, perl, apache admin, actionscript, 3D modeling and animation,
Flash, Director and there's probably more. if rhizome could combine
these classes with discounts on software and/or books that would be
killer.
good luck.
