Fluxus (from to flow) is an art movement noted for the blending of different artistic disciplines, primarily visual art but also music and literature. Fluxus was loosely organized in 1962 by George Maciunas (1931-78), a Lithuanian-American artist who had moved to Germany to escape his creditors, along with his fellow Lithuanian and personal friend, Almus Salcius. Besides America and Europe, Fluxus also took root in Japan. Among its associates were Joseph Beuys, Dick Higgins, Nam June Paik and Yoko Ono who explored media ranging from performance art to poetry to experimental music to film. They took the stance of opposition to the ideas of tradition and professionalism in the arts of their time, the Fluxus group shifted the emphasis from what an artist makes to the artists personality, actions, and opinions. Throughout the 1960s and 70s (their most active period) they staged action events, engaged in politics and public speaking, and produced sculptural works featuring unconventional materials. Their radically untraditional works included, for example, the video art of Nam June Paik and the performance art of Beuys. The often playful style of Fluxus artists led to their being considered by some little more than a group of pranksters in their early years. Fluxus has also been compared to Dada and aspects of Pop Art and is seen as the starting point of mail art. Most notorious are the Fluxus performance pieces or Event Scores such as George Brechts Drip Music. Fluxus artists differentiate Event Scores from happenings which they called Flux Events. Whereas Happenings were meant to blur the lines between performer and audience, performance and reality, Fluxus performances were sometimes one-liners and sight gags. The performances sought to elevate the banal and dissemble the high culture of serious music and art. Marcel Duchamp and John Cage were highly influential to Fluxus. en-us Copyright ©2006 Walter Cianciusi Walter Cianciusi info@waltercianciusi.com http://homepage.mac.com/cianciusi/pettigrew3_144.jpg http://www.waltercianciusi.com 144 102 Performing Arts Fluxus no Matthew Rose A Print It To Yourself, Free, Downloadable Art Book By Matthew Rose MODE D'EMPLOI / INSTRUCTIONS 1.

As the title Time Samples suggests, these sculptural works are fragments from the world shaped by layers of temporality: the time and place in which they were found, the moment of their recasting toward new formal and physical orientations, the instance of a viewer seeing something in them that calls to mind a title, and so on. When Knowles had finished her work on each piece – work of assemblage, of encasing in paper pulp, of subtraction or alteration – she invited friends and other artists to “elaborate” them by offering titles. In several cases she has titled objects herself with excerpts from the strata of her previous production (her artist’s books, old prints, etc.) and from dictionaries, literature, even the radio. The titles and the objects themselves carry the quality of musical scoring, that is, the potential for ever-new interpretations. In the Time Samples the temporal layering is continuous. It extends even into the moment that viewers of the present exhibition recognize their own, purely subjective formal and metaphorical analogies for the objects. http://homepage.mac.com/cianciusi/timesamples.pdf Sun, 21 Jan 2007 08:41:46 +0100 Performing Arts no 00:00:00 Fluxus Allan Revich A Red Circle With Nothing In It A Red Circle With Nothing In It http://homepage.mac.com/cianciusi/Revich.pdf Sat, 20 Jan 2007 08:16:52 +0100 Performing Arts no 00:00:00 Fluxus Ben Vautier Ben Vautier & Bertrand Clavez VOICI LE PROJET D’INTENTION POUR L’EXPOSITION-MANIFESTATION INTITULéE LE « TAS D’ESPRITS » REPONSE A LA QUESTION : OU EN EST L’ART APRÉS DADA ? QUELLES SONT LES LIMITES DE L’ART ? A PARIS DANS LE QUARTIER ST GERMAIN LES 21-22-23 SEPTEMBRE 2006 AVEC EXPOSITIONS CONCERT VIE ART DEBAT ETC CONTACT BEN TEL (0492099307) CLAVEZ (0610486754) POURQUOI LE « TAS D’ESPRITS » ? Parce que moi, et d’autres, croyons sincèrement à la nécessité, après Dada, Cage, Duchamp et Fluxus de faire en 2006, le point où en est l’art ? qu’est-ce que l’art ? quelles sont les limites de l’art ? l’importance de la non importance ? etc., alors pour y répondre nous avons décidé de proposer « LE TAS D’ESPRITS » POURQUOI L’AVOIR INTITULE « LE TAS d’esprits » ? le titre : « le tas d’esprits » est issu d’un jeu de mots entre Name June Paik « Fluxus est un état d’esprit » et Charles Dreyfus qui surenchérit avec : « LES TAS D’ESPRITS ». QUE CONTIENT ET NE CONTIENT PAS LE « TAS D’ESPRITS » sur le plan œuvre ? le « TAS D’ESPRITS » ne contient pas l’œuvre esthétisante ou décorative qui se suffit à elle-même en revanche le « TAS D’ESPRITS » contient une attitude envers l’art , une interrogation sur le tout possible issu de Duchamp, du Futurisme, de Cage, l’art qui se contredit, l’art qui se mange la queue, l’art qui n’est pas art, la vérité est art l’art qui se demande qu’est-ce que l’art l’anti- art art LE « TAS D’ESPRITS » EST-IL IMPORTANT ? Oui parce que ce sera l’occasion de réunir dans une même manifestation et de montrer le travail d’individus qui ne cherchent pas à créer des œuvres dans un but d’esthétisme décoratif mais dont le travail contient une suite au « tout est art » de Dada un travail de doute. Pour plus de précision, je dirais que le « TAS D’ESPRITS » aimerait montrer, couvrir l’ensemble des mouvements du passé tels Dada et le Futurisme ainsi que des mouvements plus actuels tels : Fluxus (art et vie). A ce propos bien que le « TAS D’ESPRITS » ne soit pas une exposition Fluxus, Fluxus sera présent et pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas Fluxus, Fluxus c’est la prétention de tout changer en montrant rien dans tout Fluxus c’est boire un verre d’eau, Fluxus essaie de dire merde à l’art et n’y arrive pas La Pansémiotique, avec leurs mots coïncidences, qui croient que Dieu est Mickey, la Créatique Lettriste, à condition qu’elle ne se borne pas à exclure les autres, La performance (gestes) le Situationnisme ( et même cette partie du Nouveau Réalisme, qui a théorisé les limites de l’art (poubelles, monochromes, vide plein etc) le groupe Untel etc. et surtout les travaux de beaucoup d’individus d’un peu partout dans le monde. Le « TAS D’ESPRITS » contient donc D’une part : une épine dorsale théorique, qui se pose toutes les questions sur les limites de l’art après Dada, et d’autre part, des individus dont l’œuvre reflète de l’Art Attitude – le Non Art – le divertissement etc LES DATES ? QUAND CETTE MANIFESTATION « LE TAS d’ESPRITS » AURA-t-ELLE lieu ? Nous proposons que cette manifestation se concentre à partir des 14 -15-et 16 septembre et dure le temps des expositions en cours Un vernissage commun aura lieu le 14 septembre à partir de 18 heures dans tous les espaces et galeries en même temps, le public les visitera les uns après les autres. A cette fin, nous imprimerons un programme et un plan du quartier avec le parcours à suivre. LE LIEU ? POURQUOI LE QUARTIER SAINT GERMAIN ? Parce que ce quartier est vivant, Parce qu’il y règne un état d’esprit convivial C’est le seul quartier à Paris où d’un trottoir à l’autre, l’art non seulement se parle, mais se vit, se boit, se mange Ceci étant, bien le Quartier Saint Germain reste l’épine dorsale géographique la manifestation du « TAS D’ESPRITS" ayant, par sa nature même, une vocation internationale pourra enregistrer (mail art, internet etc )des manifestations et réponses à sa question, et donc s’ouvrir sur le monde entier. http://homepage.mac.com/cianciusi/CatalogueLeTasDEsprits.pdf Fri, 19 Jan 2007 07:51:45 +0100 Performing Arts no 00:00:00 Fluxus Crispin Webb Crispin Webb 1977-2006 Crispin J.

I was listening to Reggae web radio at the time and the youTube loader let bursts of the Allen show audio come through at intervals that merged with the Reggae. I thought it was interesting and managed to capture the final few minutes using Wiretap. There was no editing or processing involved.

This exhibit would consist of two television monitors facing a wall opposite the viewer while the sound of rushing water is heard. While both televisions will cast a blue tint on the wall facing them, a closer inspection will reveal that one is playing a video of rushing water, while the other is playing nothing but static (the sounds of which are virtually indistinguishable.)

Dato un file audio di lunghezza n (campioni) procedo dapprima alla realizzazione di una serie di FFT. Con i dati messi a disposizione dalle varie FFT (tante quante il numero complessivo di campioni/lunghezza della frame)* effettuo le seguenti operazioni: - getto via i risultati relativi alla fase; - tengo conto di tutte le frequenze rintracciate nelle varie frame determinando l'ampiezza di ciascuna parziale come media dell'ampiezza che per quella frequenza è stata rintracciata in ciascuna frame; - anti-trasformo e ottengo un file audio lungo tanti campioni quanti quelli della frame e contenente tutte le frequenze presenti nell'originario file, non importa quanto lungo. Nel caso di specie (#70) la musica presa in analisi è la Serenata in mi bemolle maggiore per 13 strumenti a fiato op. 7 di Richard Strauss nella registrazione effettuata da I Fiati Di Parma. Al frammento di suono ottenuto dall'analisi si alterna un silenzio digitale anch'esso lungo esattamente quanto la frame d'analisi. Questo per dieci volte. L'ispirazione per questa struttura "a strisce" deriva da alcune opere di Daniel Buren. Lo script che realizza le operazioni d'analisi, di media e l'anti-trasformata è stato scritto in collaborazione con Lorenzo Seno in sintassi Scilab. Il brano # 70 è stato recentemente pubblicato nel CD Fluxus Anthology 2005.
