• 10 Pre-Rejected, Pre-Approved Performances
  2005
  In this piece, MTAA used on-line voting to determine which performance to create from a list of 10 choices. The voting process, a video of the performance and the performance's outcome were then exhibited as the final piece. This piece marks the first time MTAA used on-line voting to determine the content and subject of an off-line artwork. Download a QuickTime video interview of MTAA discussing the piece.
• 1 year performance video (aka samHsiehUpdate)
  2004
  "[...] viewers observe what appears to be live video footage of the artists, each occupying a small, cell-like room -- waking up in the morning, eating and reading during the day, and sleeping at night. In fact, the footage consists of pre-recorded clips selected according to the time of day one visits the site. The clips are edited dynamically to generate streams of video that are customized for each viewer. If one watches for an entire year -- a daunting task -- one becomes an official "collector" and is given a unique data file that documents the performance in code."
  New Media Art, Mark Tribe and Reena Jana, Taschen, 2006

• TIME!®
  1998
  MTAA's early on-line video performance invited viewers into an artistic collaboration and economic relationship with the artists. This piece illustrates how creating an individual dialog with an audience has been a centerpiece of MTAA's activities since the beginning of their collaboration.
