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.”

Re: Re: (x6) Request to Safari users
i'm one of the hornets ;-)
what's a bit sobering about the entire thing is that I think that most
people (who are even aware of it) think of web art in this way. they
think that art is a painting that hangs in a gallery or a sculpture
that sits on a pedestal, any sort of creative use of the web or browser
technologies is just shunted off as trickery, scams, or gimmicks.
the general public hates art for whatever reason. usually it's because
they subscribe to the notion that art is a qualitative term.
for good or ill, our work is seen this way. the general public hates it.
<rant>
that's ok, maybe i'll climb up the ivory tower and stay there for good.
to hell with the populace as whole. they're ignorant, don't want to
learn and will insult your work for no reason. bunch of louts, bores,
philistines. fuck 'em.
</rant>
btw, i've reported the bug ;-)

re: browser wars and javascript question from GH
browsers into their OS:
Embedding Mozilla in Mac OS X Cocoa Apps
http://www.artlogic.com/articles/Embedding_Mozilla/
is it possible to embed Gecko or Mozilla in an app on Windows?
+++
also, re: GH's question about a chrome-less browser:
on Windows you can run in IE in kiosk mode which goes full-screen
with no windows chrome at all (not even the min, close buttons).
on the command line use: iexplore.exe -k
not sure if you can run command line stuff from a web browser but
seeing how that would be a major security risk i doubt it (but then
again, we are talking about microsoft afterall)
a coworker informed me that you can do something like this:
thePopup=document.open('fullscreen.html','TVTonic','fullscreen=yes',true);
on Mac OSX you might be able to make your own:
http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000077.php
I've been considering creating a 'gallery browser' as a project to
learn Mac OSX programming. it would go into full screen with no
buttons or widgets or chrome and would leave full screen only using
special user configurable key combo. the user could also limit the
domains that the browser could visit and be able to set a
configurable error page to gently tell visitors that are not allowed
to browse beyond the exhibition.
do you think anyone would be interested in a such a thing?

Re: Re: TURN YOUR DESKTOP INTO AN ARTWORK
cool. miltos noticed that we're using a creative commons license on
mteww.com :-)
if you're using a Mac you can use the "Blind Remote Kinetic Digital
Image" http://www.mteww.com/signature/index_brkdi.html (ours isn't
as cool technically (like, you can't move it and stuff), but it sure
is cross platform)
better yet, use the "Blind Remote Kinetic Digital Image" and then lay
Miltos' on top! whoa, conceptual feedback, does not compute, does not
compute :-) i think if you use this strategy it definitely qualifies
as HCCA :-)
btw, if you're going to do an 'Update' it's polite to include the
original artists name. like MTAA has done updates of On Kawara and
Vito Acconci, we call 'em onKawaraUpdate and etc.
respectfully suggest "Manetas Desktop Signature (MTAAupdate) 2003" :-)
this is excellent. i'm gonna put it on my PC at work and send some screenshots.
