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.”

hey eryk,
the sites or the films?? Darren Aronofsky was the director on requiem,
(he did Ydh too, and is doing the next batman, believe it or not), and
Richard Kelly did darko. i agree, the sites borrowed heavily from net
art.
apologies, that's my only comment.

i think mriver may be acting disingenuously in his comments as our
current project has to do with video ;-)

Re: yawn list
even come across my screen, that's my choice and rhizome has gotten
much better for me once i started.
i probably won't publish my own yawn list. but there are people who
are disruptive to the list in ways which aren't as black and white as
mail bombing and overloading. they attempt to intimidate, start
distracting flame wars, and simply shout loud and long enough to
drive people away. i wouldn't put up with that in RL, and i wouldn't
put up with it here except the virtual allows me to make annoying
people invisible and silent.

Re: yawn...
semi-official 'yawn list' (btw, great name mriver).
of course, MTAA, or m.river, or t.whid or anyone else is free to
publish their own Yawn List on RAW, weekly if they feel the need.

i don't see it as being hijacked. to me they don't exist at all. if
everyone would simply use their filters the idiots would get no
response and, like over-acting children, eventually tire and go away.
until rhizome realizes that allowing this activity is more harmful to
the list than is helpful the only thing we can do is apply filters
liberally. one middle ground could be that when one signs up to RAW the
welcome email could suggest certain addresses that you may want to
filter out. or, to be even less controversial, some of us could get
together and vote on a list of addresses to be placed on this list and
rhizome could simply point to it in the welcome mail. i'll host it on
mteww.com if you like. one only needs to block 3-4 in my opinion to
make RAW a decent place to hang out.

how? right now i'm fueling their bs by even discussing it. rhizome has
made clear again and again that if you don't like it your only
alternative is to go to RARE. i don't agree, i don't see a problem with
banning disruptive email addresses. but Rhizome won't; i don't know why.
we can't stop them through discussion, derision, peer-pressure, pleas
to logic, pleas for mercy, compliments or any other rhetorical strategy
we try. they FEED off negative response. they NEED attention and since
they have no original ideas the only way they can get it is to start
flame wars. the only answer is to ban disruptive addresses, but rhizome
won't do it. we should try my idea above.
i'll email m.tribe and ask him if he would be into putting something
like this in the RAW welcome mail:
"RHIZOME_RAW is an unfiltered and unmoderated list. Rhizome values the
complete freedom of any individual to post to the RAW list. However,
some longtime members of RAW have suggested a list of email addresses
that you may want to block due to their disruptive behavior on the
list. These members believe that by blocking these email addresses you
will have a more positive experience on RHIZOME_RAW. You may download
this list in TEXT format from http://url"
Does this seem like a good compromise?
