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: alijazeera blocked
it's strange. i saw this story this morning:
English Al-Jazeera Website Hacked
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,58200,00.html
which says this,
"Ayman Arrashid, Internet system administrator at the Horizons Media
and Information Services, the site's Web host, said the attack began
Tuesday morning local time.
Nabil Hegazi, assistant to the managing editor of the English
website, denied that an attack was the reason the site was
unavailable. He said it was difficult to access because of traffic
that was almost four times more than expected. "
yesterday the front page would resolve, but very slowly. the interior
pages would come up with "500 server to busy" errors on the asp
pages. basic behavior you would expect from a heavy load on the
server.
BUT now it comes up 'not found'
hmmm...

disinformation on MSNBC broadcast (was CNN)
tonight was pleased to see a report on the demonstration taking place
in Times Square. I didn't attend the demonstration as it didn't have a
permit and I didn't feel like getting arrested, anyway, there is a big
march this Saturday that does have a permit and is going all the way
from 40th street down Bway to Washington Square Park.
Anyhoo, nice to see a bit of coverage for it even though it was slanted
a bit until the reporter held up a little flyer announcing the march on
Saturday the 22nd and said something like, "The march was supposed to
take place on Saturday but I guess they decided to do it tonight."
WTF?? These two events are not the same event! The march is still going
on on Saturday. F'ing lazy journalists are always f'ing up the facts.
Most who are interested in attending the march on Saturday probably
don't get their info from MSNBC anyway, but it was still very
frustrating.

NO WAR campaign
http://www.mteww.com/cgi/mtaa-rr.pl/twhid/ff_nowar.html
NO WAR campaign
And why MTEWW.com won't be taking part.
FutureFarmers have replaced their homepage with an anti-war homepage
that says simply 'NO WAR' with links to resources and other 'NO WAR'
pages.
I can't put mteww.com into the campaign because I don't believe in
the ideology behind the message. The <title> of the page reads "NO
BLOOD FOR OIL AND PROFIT!!!", I believe this is an overly simplistic
view of our current situation and a dangerous view to espouse. I
don't oppose the war for pacifist or ideological reasons, I oppose it
for security reasons. This war is going to make the world a more
dangerous place IMO. Also, the simple message of 'NO WAR' would lead
people to believe that I oppose all wars, but I don't. Sometimes
violence must be met with violence in order to achieve greater aims
(WWII being the example that everyone drags out).
So, the FutureFarmer's 'NO WAR' message will not replace mteww.com's
index page, I'm not sure if M.River agrees with me but I maintain
mteww.com and I feel I'm allowed to make the decision.
I encourage anyone who agrees with the ideology to take part. IMO the
message was simply sloppily crafted. I want my web site to give
information that's a bit more complex than what can fit on a picket
sign.
