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.”

thievery
on rhizome.
sometimes in my day-to-day working at my $gig$ (as opposed to my art
work) i need to churn out graphics using either logos or images of
third parties and i don't actually receive official vector art or
photoshop files from these third parties.
i know other designers must face the same problems. (it can be a
totally legit reason, like you might be creating graphics for a pitch
to a client and you can't ask the client for logos or images to use
in the pitch.)
a great source for high-quality images are unprotected flash files.
if you're lucky you can find a flash section of the co's site whose
images you want (if you would like to misuse bugs bunny, check out
time warner's site). then if you're luckier you can import these
images into flash, from there save them as adobe illustrator files
and from there they can go anywhere you would like them to go in a
fully editable resolution-independent vector format.
using IE on Mac OS 10.2 load the a flash section of a site, then look in:
~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/Temporary Files
(~ = yer user folder)
lo and behold there are .swf files in there. copy the files you
suspect may contain the images you are seeking to another directory
attempt to import them into flash (IE deletes these images as you
surf unless you move them). if they're protected from import you'll
get an error, otherwise you'll get vectors which you can use any way
you want...
i used to do this on Mac OS 9 too. look in the Preferences folder in
the System Folder if you're using that system. i don't know where to
find 'em using Windows.
have fun :-)

skill swap
perhaps it would add value to rhiz as a community if we started
something akin to sourceforge for net / digital projects.
you would need be a rhiz member to join the skill swapping pool and
people could connect with others to get projects done and they in
turn would need to volunteer their time to other's projects.
the person who requested skills could rate the volunteers and vice
versa. someone who requests skills but never volunteers would have
that noted (as the requests would be noted, but they would never
receive feedback) in their profile so that potential volunteers would
know that this person isn't giving anything back and avoid helping
them. whereas someone who is very helpful should be able to find
volunteers very easily.
when people sign up with rhiz they can opt-in to the pool and would
have a profile of what they're skilled at and what they sometimes
need help with, how helpful they've been, etc.

rhizome has only one programmer to work on the DB (the slowness being
the main bug) who seems to be working his ass off.
search queries don't return things that i know are there, the other
major bug.
the 3rd (or maybe the first) major bug is that in Mac IE you don't get
the latest version of the homepage. I suggested using a simple
cache-control meta tag might fix it. don't know if anyone tried it.
there are other minor interface bugs. many times the layout of text
pushes the interface around making the site look extremely sloppy. and
the drop-downs only work on MSIE it seems.

i agree with this as well. beyond country codes at the end of domain
names, is there an automatic way to trace the general location (would
an app that does an traceroute be able to do it..?) of a web surfer
signing up to rhiz? i'm sure mark t would be happy with simply taking
one's word for their location but jerks will abuse that i'm sure.
