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.”

I go back and forth with this question all the time...
It would be great to leave, I don't see these bUSH voters as my fellow
citizens. They voted out of fear and religious intolerance. They want
to turn b's bogus war on terror into theocracy vs. theocracy.
Then again. America is a great place. NYC especially (not culturally
part of the USA however). Do we really want to abandon it to religious
superstition and fear? If we don't do something now it may come and
find us eventually...
Also, I'm having a hard time coming to terms with this as reality. Are
there any (real) investigations into vote theft/fraud? I just can't
believe that the majority of Americans are this fucking stupid.

Re: fuck Bush
You think it's alarmist of me to talk of creeping authoritarianism?
I hope yer right, but the signs are not good: abu gahraib, guantanamo,
'enemy combatants', orwellian doubletalk, the most secretive US gov't
ever, etc, etc, etc

f*ck Bush
You Bush voters, your american citizenship is officially revoked for
not identifying and dismissing the creeping authoritarianism that is
the GWB administration. If it's not obvious enough now, over the next
four years it will become abundantly clear how big a mistake you have
made. Hopefully we'll still have democratic institutions in place at
that point so we'll be able to correct it.
