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.”

Flash's drawing tools suck. Hard. Ever since I started using flash I've
hoped for Illustrator's drawing tools married to Flash's animation and
programming features. This needn't get in the way of print designers;
it depends on how it's developed. Just update Flash with Illustrator's
drawing tools and leave Illustrator alone or package it as an
Illustrator plugin.
This will be a net plus for Flash, at the very least they'll fix it's
fucked up GUI.

I'm not dissing SVG. It's profile is still low compared to other vector
formats which is a big shame. The fact that flash is installed in >90\%
of browsers really hurts SVG on the web. There is yet to be a browser
that supports it natively.

I don't use either one so I could give a damn, but having Adobe attempt
to unseat DW was probably a good thing for DW users.

MM was attempting to bust into the PDF space with all the printing
features in Flash, they mostly failed, but the competition was good.
Now it will be gone.

Before this takeover, Adobe was competing against MM and OSS, now it's
just OSS. Net loss. I don't see any major competition coming from OSS
at this point however. What OSS projects are giving Adobe serious
competition? the Gimp v. Photoshop? That's laughable (unfortunately, I
would love a free, decent bitmap tool). Is there even an Illustrator
equivalent of the Gimp? Or After Effects? At least Adobe is getting
more competition from Apple these days...

Re: adobe acquires macromedia
some of my thoughts, here as well:
http://www.mteww.com/mtaaRR/news/twhid/geek/
adobe\_to\_acquire\_macromedia.html
1. GoLive will GoAway. (will anyone care?)
2. Hopefully they'll take Illustrator's tools and interface and slap
Flash's timeline and actionscript onto it. At the very least, we'll get
beefed-up interoperability between Illustrator and Flash and PDF (which
would be extremely helpful). This seems like the most hoped for
development after read /. comments.
3. Since Adobe was pushing SVG as an alternative to Flash, I wonder if
they'll keep promoting it? Not that they were doing a particularly good
job.
4. Fireworks will go away. (will anyone care?) This application has
always suffered because of Photoshop's dominance.
5. Wonder if they'll build any bridges between After Effects and
Director? Imagine including an After Effects project as a

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: rentagerman
Could you be more specific re: these similarities? From a quick perusal
of both sites, it's not obvious that the sites are that similar, except
for concept of course.
For example, I don't see how the layout is similar. The rent-a-negro
site has a two-column layout, where the rent-a-german site has three.
Do you mean the 'RENT NOW!' language? That seems like it could be a
coincidence IMO.
Take care,
