Why I love Fluxus

Shigeko KubotaThere are so many reasons. Here is one, quoted from the blog Metro Times:

“Fluxus artists were irresistible art flirts and menaces. They refused tickets to snobs, patronized critics and dared the public to find a point to art. They pushed the boundaries of what is considered art and, as Fluxus artist Nam June Paik wrote, turned you and me into the same clowns as Goethe and Beethoven. In short — they leveled the playing field.”

Robots

abramovicSecondLifeA lot of our work lately has been involved with looking at the human:digital interface. Is that the same as the human:machine interface? What are the differences that I am interested in exploring? How does our work in Performing the Self (the avatar as the real), as well as our work with the digital (trying to perfect our way of speaking to a camera by interviewing ourselves, editing, memorizing and repeating), etc. open up these ideas – but on the other side of the machine equation?
