So I’m sitting in 330 Merrill Hall listening to a lecture by MTAA (M. River and T. Whid, who are both really great guys). I had the chance to talk to them during my capstone class; M. River gave me some good feedback about my project.
Anyway.
The collaboration between the two artists has been going on for a long time; they’re now showing some of the older work they did (even some stuff with CU-Seeme… oooh). They’ve done some really innovative stuff over time; one of my favorites is Website Unseen, which allowed you to buy a site title and have MTAA build it for $100 (with no input from the buyer, of course). They’re really funny guys, if you haven’t figured that much out already.
I really enjoy watching their work; they throw in some humor with some really cool implementations. It’s actually the kind of stuff I like doing, in a way; that’s pretty scary, because I’ve never really considered myself an artist. But what is art? (and what is new media?)
