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 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.”

Rhizome needs to drop its membership fee and free its content
During the debate regarding Rhizome's membership fee I was very vocal
in my support of the idea. The argument went like this: an obligatory
membership fee for Rhizome is better than no Rhizome at all. I was sure
that if the fee wasn't implemented then Rhizome as we know it would
cease to exist. There would be no more lists, no more ArtBase, and no
more web site.
But what I failed to understand is that the fee basically caused
Rhizome to cease to exist. As the founders and current directors of
Rhizome know well, to exist on the network you need to be linked. I am
hyper-referenced therefor I am. Rhizome's membership fee effectively
shuts down links to articles and artwork on Rhizome's web site.
I know, it's free on friday. But if I want to link to a Rhizome post or
artwork, am I to attach a disclaimer? "This link only functions on
Fridays."
I know, first time's free. But what if I have visitors to my site who
follow the links to Rhizome regularly? They get shut out.
Why should Rhizome care? Since I can't trust links will resolve to the
article or the artwork they point too, I simply don't link to Rhizome.
I didn't mean this to happen, it just started happening. I can't help
but think that other people must feel the same way.
These days newer on-line publishing technologies like weblogs, (RSS,
RDF, Atom) feeds, and link aggregators (like del.icio.us) are
connecting people to information in very exciting ways but I have a
feeling that Rhizome is being left out and left behind. How many blogs
link to Rhizome articles and artworks? Probably not many, blog authors
know the value of freely linking across the web; Rhizome stops them at
the door.
Being locked up behind the membership fee leads to a degradation in the
content on Rhizome. We could argue whether it's happening or not -- I'm
not sure it's happening myself -- but I'm sure it's going to happen and
I'll tell you why. Folks don't want to post to closed forums. If they
want their articles read or their artwork looked at they want to be
linked far and wide. Sure they might drop a post on Rhizome (if they're
a member) and a few other places. If the other places are free, guess
where the links will go? Not to Rhizome. So at best you'll get
duplicate content on Rhizome which is harder to find. Since not as many
people are finding Rhizome, membership might start to drop. Since
membership is dropping even fewer articles are posted; a very bad
downward cycle could start.
Rhizome needs to drop the fee, find new ways to connect with new
audiences -- an XML feed of the Rhiz list posts would be a good start
-- and then work on ways to get these new audiences to donate
voluntarily.
Perhaps it was an emergency at the time the fee curtain came down. I
hope it's over and Rhizome finds a way to free their content.
I really want to link Rhizome.

Hi Joe,
well, that's true and not true. You can sign away SOME rights, but not
others. For example, even if I had a contract with you that allowed you
to kill me if I didn't uphold my end of the contract you would still be
tried for murder if you killed me.
otherwise, they did break policies which their employer had in place.
They were not fired until the pentagon complained to their employer
(the pentagon being the employers main contractor I'll bet).
more broadly, I'm sick of civil rights abuses being fig-leafed behind
contracts, EULAs and etc.
