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.”

If we encountered a pod-cast, or a streaming radio server in the woods, in the “natural
mouchette.org
references to what has come before, bah.
i'm xposting to thingist too, double bah.
++
i'm just gonna list my points:
To properly understand the web site it's probably necessary to see
the french film of which it seems to be an homage.
Just because the site deals with adolescent sexuality and suicide
doesn't make it exploitative. In fact, it seems to be the exact
opposite. It's seems very critical of patriarchal society. I haven't
seen the film, but I would bet that the film is as well (from what I
could glean from the film quiz section of the site which is found on
computerfinearts.com).
Mouchette, though said to be a little girl, also transforms into a
fly at different points in the site. Hmmmm? What could that mean?
Could it be a critique of some sort? Could it somehow be a critique
of a patriarchal society which has taught a young girl that she is
worth no more than a fly? That she is better off dead than being a
burden to a man who has committed a horrific crime against her?
++
Seriously Eryk, you are committing an incredible error with your
review of this site. It's one usually committed by the religious
right (in the US), but it's also committed by extremely radical
feminists as well. The error being: A knee-jerk response to any
questionable subject no matter what the content is that it carries.
If you make this error than a 'girls gone wild' film and
Mouchette.org--since they have the same subject, adolescent
sexuality--can be critiqued for being exploitative when in fact the
content of the pieces makes them polar opposites. One is exploitative
and the other is critiquing that exploitation by revealing it's
consequences.
