M. River and T. Whid are two new media artists that use short films to create a commentary about the world around them. In particular, one series of short videos focuses on repetitive gestures and everyday actions, known as Five Small Videos About Interruption and Disappearing. MTAA (M. River and T. Whid Art Associates) explains that by "using aspects of conceptual art, popular culture and real-time performance" they seek to develop "a new manner of dialogue between artist and audience."
MTAA has completed several other short video productions including YES & NO and (LOVE + HATE) x 100. Both of these forms of video artwork concentrate on parallel opposites. In each video the screen is split equally down the middle with one level of the issue on one side and the opposite on the side next to it. Confusion is another aspect built into each of these videos and plays a key role in the audience's perception of meaning.
