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.”

Good point, but look at the new iMac marketing, "from the makers of the
ipod"
So it seems like they are tying to use the success of the ipod to
create a wedge into higher PC sales. and the ipod is a wild success, I
know many PC users who own ipods.
If Apple had MS's market, I would be very anti-Apple as their monopoly
would be worse than MS's as they control the hardware and the software!
My dream is that in the future there will be no Windows. There will
simply be different flavors of Unix that are controlled by no one and
they all inter-operate due to well-known, well-documented standards and
we all live happily ever after.
This way you can have Mac OS, all the Linux varieties, BSD, etc, etc
all working together. Apple will still be a niche, Linux will take over
the place of Windows as the dominant OS but instead of one company
controlling it there will be bunch of large to small companies all
supporting it.

Re: XP service pack 2
I think *any* proprietary software (and even hardware) needs to be
looked at with a skeptical eye, I think there we agree.
I am a big Apple fan, I'll admit. But if they had the MS's monopoly I
would look at their actions in a different light. MS's actions have
much more significance than Apple's due to their size. Many of their
decisions have been extremely harmful to their users and the rest of
the computing ecosphere.
As far as Apple and Linux/Unix companies go I support them in that they
are the power player's seeking to destroy MS's harmful monopoly.

OK, perhaps I went to far.
But I seem to remember you arguing *for* Windows illegal monopoly and
their use of this monopoly to crush Netscape. Agreed, we don't want to
go down that road again. I think your arg was that Netscape floundered
in a competitive market. My arg is that the market wasn't competitive
but controlled by MS.
My arg against MS has nothing to do with artsy or idiotic. Their
monoculture has created an extremely dangerous environment for their
users. But since we're all networked now, it causes headaches for
people who aren't their users too: clogged networks, downed servers,
JPEG virus anyone? Tasty! They stifle innovation by not supporting open
standards. And their software is just simply to hard to use for the
average home user.
To get back to more constructive discussion:
If the chromeless environment is very important to you you may need to
look into the kiosk method I mentioned earlier. Not sure if it works on
SP2. Otherwise, Firefox has extensions (not plug-ins as i mentioned
earlier) which extend the browser's behavior, a quick search turned up
something that sounds just like what you were looking for:

sp2. There is no way to do this with service pack 2 via client-side
script in the browser. In addition, you can't use tricks like opening a
window larger than the screen and positioning with it the chrome
off-screen.
you can open a chromeless browser via the command line using the kiosk
mode (can't remember the exact syntax) or by typing f11 if you need a
chromeless browser for exhibition or presentation.
Firefox has tons of plug-ins which extend it's behavior.. I imagine
there is one for a kiosk mode or FS mode.
