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.”

A School Project
Subject: A School Project
Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2002 09:38:57 -0400
Hello!
Our class has just started a unit on maps, and we would like your help
with a project. We are in the 3rd grade at Cold Water Elementary
School in Florissant, Missouri. We are located in St. Louis County
near Lambert Airport in St. Louis. Our classroom teacher, Mrs. Cutkomp,
is helping us with our project. We have decided to map an e-mail. We
are curious to see "Where in the World" our e-mail will go starting
September and ending in November.
We would appreciate your help. If you receive this message, we ask that
you:
1. E-mail us back at vcutkomp@sun.hazelwood.k12.mo.us and tell us your
location by city, state, and country. We will then plot these on our
map.
2. Copy and paste this into a new e-mail and send this letter to people
you know in different places. (Forwarding would work too!) They, in
turn, can send it on to people they know. This will help us reach as
many people as possible.
After collecting the e-mail messages and plotting them on a map, we
will graph the number of responses by state and country. With your
help, this project will be a very exciting learning experience!
Thank you so much!
Mrs. Cutkomp's 3rd Grade
Cold Water Elementary
Florissant, Missouri
(This is not a pen pal project, so we will not write you back unless you
request it.)

i don't know who the artists are but leaving their names off of the
site gives you an indication of or the organizers' priorities. i
won't speculate on what it is but it doesn't seem to be the art or
artists.
btw, a fee was collected in order to be considered for the show. MTAA
have a policy never to apply for this sort of show.

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:

Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark
things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use

if yer a dork like me, you can read the entire thread here:
http://research.microsoft.com/~mbj/Smiley/Joke_Thread.html
it's kind of cool to read the thread (the smiley post is mercifully
near the top) because you have people proposing joke markers
(example: \_/ ) and then this one comes along and people just start
using it, it caught on organically. the thread is dead boring tho,
people selling carpet and planning picnics and etc.
