BIO

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

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 Horvath, Tenderly YoursPeter 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.”

DRAWING IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION


Hi,

Lurking a tad on this thread...

To Joe Edit "what is the patent?"

What I can glean is that the patent has to do with appropriating images but bringing along some metadata about author, etc of the original image in the appropriation, and doing so in a real-time way, i.e. the appropriation artist can 'paint' the image and the metadata stays intact and attached.

Roz Dimon, is that correct?

DISCUSSION


Note that on the Frank(Again) video there's a about 12 minutes of dead air before the actual performance starts.

Also, it's sort of one-sided since you can't see the synchronous chat. I was hoping to composite the chat and the video together but there is no time-code on the chat making it hard :(

DISCUSSION

members reception


The members reception at the numu last night was super fun. It was so good to see the folks I saw.

Regrets that I couldn't talk to everyone that I wanted to talk to.

Thanks Lauren and co. Had lots-o fun :-) You should do it monthly (with free booze and all)!

DISCUSSION

Let's help Turbulence!!!


I've donated to Turbulence and Rhizome this year and encourage
everyone to do so.

Turbulence has been, along with Rhizome, one of the most important
supporters of net art.

We all believe in net art as a medium. We don't want it to slide into
obscurity. It can happen.

Supporting Turbulence and Rhizome is important for the medium's
history and it's future.

Donate some cash now :-)
