Re: FLUXLIST: art version of the Tao te Ching #54
While I love this piece, I must comment only on one point.
My boss owns a newspaper and printing company which I am gainfully employed by. He
asked me to host the grand opening of his Art Gallery the other day which featured
"local" (New England) artists. He purchased a great deal of alchohol for the opening,
and interestingly enough, this did serve to increase the amount of art purchased!
Being drunk may lead someone to purchase anything... The prices were actually kind of
high.
I do most certaintly agree with the last part of "3" ("This is criminal"). My boss is
keeping such a large portion of each purchase that the artists do not make anything in
the long run. Considering the cost involved in painting and framing their work, I
would say they lost out.
Point 1 and 2 of your new Tao Te Chang need not even be mentioned- they are obviously
true. The only thing I wanted to explain, really, was why there is so much alchohol!
(The only benefit in this whole system!)

FLUXLIST: Hmmm
I have already expressed ignorance of Fluxism, so forgive me if the following "thing" is not flux... While videotapping a town Board Of Selectmen meeting, I very noisily retrieved a bag of cough drops, despite the utter lack of a cough on my part, taking care to make as much noise as humanly possible. Then, I walked through the aisles, in front of everyone in the middle of the meeting, in front of the camera, and proffered one cough drop, unwrapped, to the nameless representative of an architectural firm which had a quote for the town. The man took the cough drop and ate it. Then I returned to the camera. To me, that is an "experience", and to do such things, without any self-conciousness or deliberation, but to do them just because you do them, is what is art... Is this the point of flux? To live your life just in your way, to be you purely because you are? Not to cause a reaction, but just to do things to do them? That is what I feel flux is to me? ~David Streever Hell, might as well add an "E"... == "When the last human has died, trees shall cover the earth."

Re: FLUXLIST: John Perry Barlow: The Next Economy Of Ideas (fwd)
My only issue with Napster is the Recording companies rob the artists blind... the artists don't make squat off of records... they make what little money they make off of concerts and merchandising, and even then the record companies get the most... why don't they ditch the record companies and do like Chili Peppers planned to do? Distribute all their music (for free) on the net, and fund their OWN recording company? All the artists could join together to do it, and run it themselves... With the soaring cd sales they would make a killing. == "When the last human has died, trees shall cover the earth."

I want to see if I can create an online artistic community with people posting their own works as well as commenting on others, sort of a method for writers/poets to get their word out and maybe even make money bypassing the publisher. Can it be done? Will the produced fiction/art be more/less real? I haven't really seen the 'slashdot' for literature out there yet. Instead of using one of the OS solutions out there for community type sites, I've decided to program my own (php4 w/MySQL backend.) I'll be honest with you, though, in that I'm an English/Journalism major, a poet at heart. I've been fascinated with the web since '95 or so, recently delving into scripting with PERL and php. (Creating art, but in another language, that of the computer.) So... I guess I'm just looking for feedback on the concept and execution of open source literature.

Re: FLUXLIST: Tired?
I'm just curious why anyone would say fluxus is dead. Seems to me, no art form ever dies. Maybe this list has been not up to your standards lately in terms of the discussion, but that happens to all lists. They go through lulls and swoops... sometimes they are animated, sometimes they are filled and full of discussion. I am personally involved in about six lists, and I find that they all do this... I have not been a member of fluxlist for very long, nor do I know a lot about fluxus, but I do think that saying fluxus is dead seems like an overreaction... In my mind, fluxus is art- art is life. You can never say fluxus is dead, as long as one soul lives... life begets art, art begets life. They are a symbiotic pair... ~David Streever, chiming in with my two cents == "When the last human has died, trees shall cover the earth."
