Re: FLUXLIST: Fwd: Museum of Sex is proud to co-sponsor THE 2nd ANNUAL NEW YORK BURLESQUE FESTIVAL

[Drew Danielson]

Please correct away if I say anything that strikes you as wrong, but my 
impression of fluxus is that it generally has a familial or congenial 
flavor to it.  It's more demonstrative than evocative.  Its mystery, to 
me, doesn't induce me to want to demystify it, but to leave it be as it 
is.  Its subject is more often of needs than of desires, or perhaps more 
of what we expect than of what we demand.  It certainly can be visceral 
and sensual, but most often in terms of the 5 non-groinal senses.

I feel something parental or fraternal/sororal* when I get the feel of 
fluxus.  As the man said, it's not non-sexual, but for the most it's not 
erotic.


* the dictionary did not reveal to me a non-gendered word that means 
something like 'siblingly'.  This should be remedied.

them: to unroll condoms; to consider soft, small plugs for insertion into the nose 
ear, vagina, or anus; to examine statuettes that might enter any orifice of the 
user.  Where would this fit?  "  As well, on the cover of the Orfice Flux Plugs kit 
the label has a photo of a finger inserted into an anus.  
Also, I remember reading in Games at the Cedilla, George Brecht or Robert

How about the performance where they pee into a metal bucket and whoever 
pees the longest wins (sorry, i can't remember the title)
anyway, i don't think fluxus is devoid of sexuality, i don't think i would go so far 
as to call it erotic though.

Re: FLUXLIST: image project; Amy's tie project redux

[Drew Danielson]

Thanks Ray, and Thanks Crispin!
I'm particularly happy to have people from this discussion community 
participating in this project... I love what Fark is about, but the 
photoshop dialect is pretty distinct there and the different accents are 
interesting to me.

I'm going to also invite folks at different photoshop sites to 
participate (like worth1000.com, somethingawful.com).  If anyone has 
suggestions on other communities where folks might want to contribute, 
please let me know that as well.

Cheers
Drew
