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.”

Right. I work with a guy who votes republican, was pro-Iraq war and etc.
He hates Bush and is voting Kerry, he too feels this betrayal (I like
to think my args had something to do with it too). But, he lives in New
York so... a drop in the ocean of Kerry voters.
He's simply a fiscal conservative and hates paying taxes. That's the
only reason he's republican. He's very moderate, loves McCain, etc.
It's the extreme radical (and ruling) contingent I was ranting about in
my last post.
I think the Dem operatives must go about their business with the same
cut-throat attitude the repubs have. Of course we normal citizens
interacting on personal levels should try to attain some understanding
of one another's views.
understanding repubs?
Is it that hard to understand an anti-choice voter's stance in this
election (and every other election that's been held since abortion was
legalized)? whatev.
No, I'm sorry Fuck That.
I understand that they are perfectly mistaken and that's all I need to
understand. They must lose political power or our country (as well as
the rest of the world) is perfectly fucked.
The Left's ability to empathize with their adversaries and hold two
conflicting ideas in their head at one time is what helps the Right win
using their dirty tactics. You think the repubs are wondering why we
coo-coo lefties do what we do? no they don't, they just pull out the
big anti-patriot brush.
The left doesn't want to stoop to the dirty games, fear-mongering,
lies, distortions and double-dealings which are the MO of
Bush/Cheney/Rove and the rest of their republican minions but a
hard-case stance is our only chance in this election.
The only progress that can be made with the right-wing radicals
currently controlling the US gov't is by kicking them out the door.
Period.

posting to Rhiz
It might be a good idea to attach an image (or, even better, a URL of
an image) to your email to Rhiz_RAW if you would like to have it posted
to the front page.
I know as a super-user I'm much more apt to post something if that
small step is taken care of for me.
The guidelines for the image are simple: 135w x 170h *GIF* (no JPEG, no
PNG, no anything else).
