FLUXLIST: Projet Rhizomes - Rhizomes Project
In the email today... Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 13:53:32 +0200 From: reynald drouhin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: http://www.ensba.fr/rhizomes/ Subject: Projet Rhizomes - Rhizomes Project _R_H_I_Z_O_M_E_S_ Bonjour, Je vous recontacte aujourd'hui pour un nouveau projet on line intitulé : "rhizomes". _[english version below] Le rhizome n'est pas nouveau sur internet, mais ce projet est une tentative expérimentale d'oeuvre collective ephémère sur le web. Mode d'emploi : Pour réussir notre mission, il faut si vous l'acceptez que vous deveniez une partie de ce rhizome... Comment faire : _ devenir pour un temps hébergeur d'une image et de 2 fichiers html, _ me confirmer par mail que vous êtes d'accord (c'est à dire que vous acceptez de mettre une image dans votre site), _ je vous repond en vous envoyant l'image, _ vous me repondez en me donnant l'adresse de cette image sur internet, _ puis quand toutes les images seront distribuées (à 192 personnes), _ je vous envoie 2 fichiers html que vous mettrez dans le même répertoire que l'image (si possible nommé rhizomes), _ puis nous découvrirons ensemble la reconstitution de l'image rhizomatique... Explication : "Rhizomes" est un projet d'installation sur internet qui a débuté après la tempète de décembre 1999 en France. Début 2000 : un arbre remplissait l'espace de la cour du Mûrier des beaux-arts de Paris. "Le rhizome est un système accentré, non hiérarchique et non signifiant, sans Général, sans mémoire organisatrice ou automate central, uniquement défini par une circulation d'états." "Un rhizome ne commence et n'aboutit pas, il est toujours au milieu, entre les choses, inter-être, intermezzo. L'arbre est filiation, mais le rhizome est alliance, uniquement d'alliance. L'arbre impose le verbre "être", mais le rhizome a pour tissu la conjonction "et... et... et... ". Il y a dans cette conjonction assez de force pour secouer et déraciner le verbe être. (...) Entre les choses ne désigne pas une relation localisable qui va de l'une à l'autre et réciproquement, mais une direction perpendiculaire, un mouvement transversal qui les emporte l'une et l'autre, ruisseau sans début ni fin, qui ronge ses deux rives et prend de la vitesse au milieu." Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari : "Rhizome" in Mille plateaux. Une oeuvre éphémère sur internet... Infos complémentaire : durée_de_l'image : 00/00/00 ?

The concept of Rhizome is n't new on the internet : this project is an attempt to set up experimental and ephemeral collective work. Users guide : If you want take part in this project, you will have to be a member of the rhizome... _ to qualify for this, you have to host an image and 2 html files, _ If you agree, confirm it by sending me an e-mail, _ I will send you the image, _ Then you give me the adress of the folder in wich you have placed the image, _ I will send you the 2 html files place them in the same folder as the image, _ Finaly , piece by piece the rhizomatic image will be constructed by all its members... Explain : " the rhizome is a accentré, nonhierarchical system and not meaning, without Général, organizing memory or central automat, only defined by a circulation of states. " " a rhizome does not start and does not come to anything, it is always in the medium, between the things, inter-to be, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhizome is alliance, only of alliance. The tree forces the verbre " to be ", but the rhizome has as a fabric the conjunction " and... and... and... ". There is in this conjunction enough force to shake and to uproot the verb being (...) Between the things does not indicate a relation localisable which goes from the one to the other and reciprocally, but a perpendicular direction, a transverse movement which carries them one and the other, brook without beginning nor end, which corrodes its two banks and takes speed in the medium.

Re: FLUXLIST: o-zone/geo slander
I grew up in a state that had (has?) the highest literacy rate of any state in the United States, Iowa. We had a joke about the state of Missouri (located directly south of Iowa): if you cut off the bottom row of counties in Iowa and gave them to Missouri, it would raise the IQ of both states 10 points. I have yet to meet anyone from Missouri who gets this joke. I believe com is located somewhere in Kansas, is sparsely populated and its economy depends heavily on the corn crop. It is, at times, described as having a bovine landscape. It gained fame briefly in the 80s due to a bumpersticker that read, "Suicide in Kansas is Redundant."

FLUXLIST: Daniel Spoerri Press Release
Emily Harvey GalleryPress Release 537 Broadway at Spring New York, NY 10012 Tel. 212 925-7651 Fax 212 966-0439 DANIEL SPOERRI: Le Cabinet Anatomique May 11th to June 10, 2000 Reception for artist: Wednesday, May 24th, 6:00-8:00 Exhibition Catalog Available Emily Harvey is proud to present a series of new works by Daniel Spoerri: assemblages for which Spoerri has found his starting point in a suite of original surgical lithographs from l839 by N.H. Jacob, a student of Jean-Louis David. He completes these exquisitely drawn illustrations with carefully overlaid objects. This group of works is the third (and currently final) part of a larger series entitled Le Cabinet Anatomique. Spoerri is an inveterate collector of the most curious expressions of human creativity, retrieving such objects, as he retrieved the original graphics to which he applied them, from Europe¹s various flea markets. The works are small in scale and display an eerie, jewel-like precision; and though the images are often cruel, they are presented with great equanimity. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalog on Le Cabinet Anatomique published by the Emily Harvey Gallery with a text by the art critic Otto Hahn, translated and introduced by Henry Martin. Born in Rumania in l930, Daniel Spoerri is one of our era¹s most versatile talents: in addition to being a visual artist, he has also been a dancer, choreographer and theater director, as well as the editor of a magazine of concrete poetry. He moved from Switzerland to Paris at the end of the l950s where he became connected with the group of the Nouveaux Réalistes: Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Arman and Martial Raysse. In l962, he also took part in the first Fluxus Festival of New Music, in Wiesbaden. In l968 he opened the Eat Art Gallery in Düsseldorf, which produced and presented edible works of art by contemporary artists. The l960s were the period of his first tableaux pièges or snare pictures, in which chance arrangements of objects, on tables or in drawers, were snared and fixed into permanent place exactly the artist found them. These works were followed by false snare pictures, in which the composition had been thoroughly planned, even while creating the impression of having been determined by chance. The notion of chance as a guiding principle of Spoerri¹s work was succinctly formulated by the little book which he published in l962, entitled La Topographie anecdotée du hasard (republished in l966 by The Something Else Press in the English translation of Emmett Williams as An Anecdoted Topography of Chance) in which he records all the objects found on the table of his Paris hotel room on October 17th, l961 at 4:17 p.m., also evoking the memories they subsequently brought back to him. Later phases of Spoerri¹s work were guided by mottoes or titles such as détrompe-l¹oeil (undeceiving the eye), pièges à mots (word traps), or pièges à hommes (man traps), all of which can be seen as variations on the snare picture, in the sense that the artist exacerbates the literal meanings of images to the point finally of derouting them into absurdity. Daniel Spoerri currently lives and works in Tuscany, Italy, on a farm in the town of Seggiano, where he is constructing a monumental sculpture garden that includes the work of many of his friends, in addition to his own. Daniel Spoerri will be present for a reception Wednesday, May 24. This occasion marks his first visit to the United States since l975. /blockquote/x-html

Owen Smith deserves additional accolades for the TIME and EFFORT he put forth on our behalf producing the box (with Sol's label), arranging the contents (which according to many comments is being appreciated as art form in itself), and then packing up all the boxes and getting them mailed--(but wait, there's more!)--as well as photographing and documenting all the objects for the digital catalog. A shitload of very high quality work. I'm really impressed. What a cool project. Thanks Sol and Owen. Thanks participants! Thanks FLUXLIST. Wow.

FLUXLIST: Re: Fluxlist Box
1. I did the FLUXLIST rubber stamp. Had the rubber part made and then had to cut them out and mount them myself (on curtain-size dowel rods)...which is why they happen to have that homemade, "unprofessional" look. 2. I would love to work on a project like Ann describes. I've had a similar notion of putting together a Fluxus kit (with a blend of old and new Fluxus self-performance activities--contributed by a bunch of different people) that grade school teachers/art teachers could use to inspire Fluxus thinking and perceiving among their adolescent students. Using this as a springboard of examples for getting them to create/design/perform their own fluxus activities/boxes/projects could be the natural follow-through. Working through "artist in schools" programs seems like a genius way to do it, too. Although a lot of work, I think something like this could be really fun and make a real contribution...to raising the general level of creativity in the world. Not that I'm grandiose... It struck me, seeing his response to the box (he's 10), that this would be an excellent pedagogical tool. I mean the construction of such boxes by a class, say. Roger, you work with kids, yes? What do you think? In the US there are these "artist in schools" programs and artists can get on rosters to be sent around to schools to work with kids for a week or so. Doing a box could be a great project, coupled with making of various kinds of multiples, prints, stamps, clay rollers, etc etc--and a good way to teach about art "outside the box" so to speak. AK

FLUXLIST: fluxus research or fluxus parody?
At last week's reception for Daniel Spoerri at Emily Harvey Gallery I conducted some research. I distributed a survey to attempt to assess Eric Andersen's alleged assertion that "All the authentic Fluxus artists consider the Fluxlist to be a truly absurd parody." This activity was also presented as being a performance. You can view a description of this activity (with photo documentation) at http://www.fluxus.org/FluxusMidwest/Research/fluxlist.html . I am unable to report the survey results. however, because I have placed the sealed ballot box containing the completed surveys for auction on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=348343143" . So if you really want to know the results and/or want a fine artifact of modern art, head over to the auction. Bidding starts at 1.00 (will be surprised if it goes much higher). Auction ends in ten days.

(ASCI)" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Digital'2000 Exhibition "State of the Art: Digital Prints panel discussion in NYC For Immediate Release (please distribute!) "State of the Art: Digital Prints" an evening panel discussion (7-9pm) produced by ASCI in conjunction with the Opening Reception (5-7pm) of DIGITAL'2000 ASCI's third annual international competition exhibition June 28, at Central Fine Arts (212) 966-8836 596 Broadway (just south of Houston St), New York City Digital images, no longer just "experiments" in Photoshop, are rapidly becoming the medium-of-choice by both fine art photographers and printmakers. Not that long ago, artists could make and view digital images on their computer screens but had no way of printing out a product suitable for collection or sale. Today, digital artists have many choices of print output methods with image permanence that surpasses that of traditional color photographs. Digital prints can be made in huge sizes, and on many types of material. Recent technological innovations in improved ink-sets and photo-quality printers have allowed fine art digital prints to share the distinction of net.art as one of the newest media in the lexicon of legitimate contemporary art (shown at museums). So new, that the Brooklyn Museum's prestigious 26th National Print Biennial next year will be the first such biennial exhibition to be devoted solely to the digital print! "State of the Art: Digital Prints" will examine important technical aspects that artists should know about creating long-lasting digital prints with Henry Wilhelm announcing surprising results of his recent testing that will revolutionize fine art digital prints! In addition, the panel will explore the issues that artists, museum curators, and gallery owners are dealing with today. For instance: What criteria do museum curators use to decide which department will collect a digital print, Photography or Prints and Drawings? Are artists following strict copyright rules regarding appropriation of images from other print media when creating digital montage? How should digital images be reviewed by curators, at what resolution is realistic? And are artists' homepages valuable for the initial review process? Why do artists not know about longevity information of the newest digital printers and ink-sets? Is this even important to collectors? PANELISTS: Meghan Boody, artist, whose digital prints have been purchased by the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; Matthew Drutt, Curator in Media Arts, Guggenheim Museum, New York, who has been following the impact of digital technology on photography; Marilyn Kushner, Curator of Prints Drawings at the Brooklyn Museum of Art whose National Print Biennial (invitational) in 2001 will solely be digital prints; Cynthia Pannucci (moderator), ASCI Director, trained as a printmaker whose prints were represented by the AAA Gallery, NYC and in national print exhibitions; Michal Smith, owner-printmaker, Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints, Ltd.

FLUXLIST: Random act of shopping
There was this ballot box I put up for sale on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=348343143 and at least one person (you know who you are Patricia/PK Harris) wanted to know who the winning bidder was and why he/she bought it. Here's my original reply and the winning bidders own words on the subject: Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 23:41:50 -0400 From: allen bukoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: other people's sisters The person who bid the highest is a longtime friend of mine, Mary Tiegreen, and has not replied to my emails because, I think, she is now traveling overseas. Anyway, I have emailed her and asked her why the hell she bid on it. I really can't imagine why. Mary's a graphic designer, artist, author (most recent book, Let the big dog eat, co-authored with her husband, is about golf slang) but not a lot of interest in Fluxus. I also told her that she'd actually have to send me the money or eBay will throw us in jail just for having the appearance of shill bidding. We'll just have to wait until she returns to find out what she was thinking. Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 21:22:08 -0500 To: allen bukoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Random act of shopping We just got back from Europe so I haven't really addressed my wild and wacky move to buy the box full of stuff as yet. Just so you know, it was a bid from the heart, a random act of shopping, a sincere statement of support and interest, and a late night decision to just do a go girl thing. OK, it IS only a cardboard box with stuff in it, but it's art AND I was thinking of donating it to the Fluxus Indian Museum. AND it's probably not worth $46 right now but WHAT IS I ask you? A pair of shoes? A salad at Le Cirque? Are these worth more than the conceptual and lasting object you have created?!?!?! Is Mr. Gucci the only one who can create merchandise worthy of 46 buckaroos? Will we remember the limp salad we pushed around while we pretended to be interested in the conversation of our companion in some has-been restaurant more than this box filled with passionate sentiments? Doubtful. So YES! I paid $46 for this work and you can tell your Fluxus friends that next time they might want to reconsider their bidding style and maybe up the ante a bit in order to capture such a prize. I feel fortunate to be the owner of The Box, and will decide in the next six months where it should be exhibited. In the meantime, I remain Mary Tiegreen

In fact, such creeps also are cursed with the same kind of juvenile devotion to negativity evinced by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two sickies who massacred their classmates at Colorados Colombine High. To swagger through hell like Wild West gunslingers, is that what the two of them wanted? To live only long enough to enjoy the psychopathic pride they sought in being mass murderers? Like Adolf Hitler, all Harris and Klebold achieved was the privilege of being able to blow their own brains out. Virus villains are careful not to get blood on their hands but they are murderers nonetheless. They shoot like deadly snipers from the cover of anonymity. Like Harris and Klebold , they have nothing but contempt for the world. Like Harris and Klebold, they dont care that the world has an even greater contempt for them. Certainly, contempt is what I have for the slimebrain who sent me that virus. That was many weeks ago, all wasted in trying to restore what I could from the burnt shell of my hard drive. At first, I was angry enough to kill. But Im really not that bloodthirsty. It had never before occurred to me that I might possess dark powers, but I once put a curse on someone who ended up hanging himself in the most gruesome way. The story I got is that he used a wire coat hanger for a noose. I regret to admit I greeted that news with a smirk. But years of misgivings, have long since wiped that smirk off my face. As I said, Im really not that bloodthirsty. Besides, I believe in Karma. For every yin theres a yang. What goes around comes around. In other words, the snake who sent me that venom has already doomed himself (or herself). In one way or another, he (or she) will--- at least figuratively---end up having to swallow the very same poison that he (or she) fed to me. Malice is in itself negative energy. And if theres one thing life has taught me, its that negative energy is always counterproductive. To send out bad vibes is like spitting in the wind. The spit blows right back into your face. Negative energy will always boomerang back at you. Look at all the negative energy boomeranging back at me, starting back in 1972, when I was blacklisted from print journalism for no good reason. I was writing the very successful POP SCENE column in the New York Post at the time but obviously, I musta done something wrong. But what did I do to deserve this virus? My views are sometimes very unorthodox and so I know there are a lot of people who disagree with things I write. But I suspect the virus maybe came from among those in my email address book who didnt want to be on my mailing list. Im still pretty much computer illiterate, see, and when they asked to be removed from my mailing list, I couldnt find their listings to remove. I asked them if they were sure the eaddress was the same to which I had sent the unwanted email. I asked them to be patient and they got mad. In response, I was foolish enough to ask if maybe they were just some crank putting me on. They didnt like that. Of course, the fact that I was computer illiterate enough---foolhardy is a better word---not to know that I should never open attachments without being sure of what they contain shows what a patsy I still am. Me, Im so innocent, I didnt even know enough to keep updating my antivirus program. So I get this email from an alleged Dr. Miller and open the attachment, just like I customarily open all attachments and my antivirus program tells me I have a virus and the program cant do anything about it because I havent updated my virus definitions. Like Harris and Klebold swaggering through hell, these virus villains swagger through cyberspace. Theyre the gunslingers of the digital age, looking for computers to murder at the slightest excuse. But really, theyre no better than vandals overturning gravestones in cemeteries. Theyre nothing but bullies, see. They know more about computers than you do, so they hold you in contempt. They know you cant outdraw them. And they come heavily armed. The bullets they shoot are digital H-Bombs. The virus sure destroyed my computer. Living on a monthly

FLUXLIST: fluxus physics?
The Physicist and the Wrapper by James Glanz New York Times Sunday, June 4, 2000 Week in Review (Section 4, page 2) Like poets who find inspiration on the kitchen table or back porch, physicists are rediscovering the world they can see with the unaided eye. The trend began at least a decade ago when they began pondering why Brazil nuts, the largest and heaviest nuggets in a can of mixed nuts, always end up on top after being jostled during shipping. The movement may have found its Ferlinghetti in Dr. Eric Kramer, a physicist at Simon's Rock College in Massachusetts, who presented experiments to explain that plague upon opera, theater and serious music: the maddening, inescapable crackling of candy wrappers. After analyzing the sound, Dr. Kramer and a colleague discovered that it was not a continuous rustle but a series of brief, unpredictable bursts just thousandths of a second long. As theatergoers may already suspect, opening a wrapper slowly does not quiet those bursts but only slows down the rate at which they go off. Each snap, Dr. Kramer found, is the product of a tiny rearrangement of one of the creases in the wrapper. The dynamics of those innumerable little rearrangements is complex enough to keep any physicist happy. But like the Brazil nut phenomenon, which was found to be caused by a subtle circulation in the can, the candy wrapper research may be most interesting as another step in the journey of physicists back from the minuscule scale of the atom and the gigantic scale of the cosmos. Like Ferlinghetti, they are rediscovering the mysteries of the here and now.

FLUXLIST: Buying art online - NYT article
I think Van Gogh's squishy ear is the real prize here (easily obtained off eBay, too) An eSpree of Art Buying Makes a Believer By DEBORAH SOLOMON New York Times July 30, 2000 ANDRÉ BRETON, who was almost as famous for his French arrogance as for founding Surrealism, enjoyed playing the role of the anti-snob. He once said that the most interesting artistic experience in Paris was going to the flea market. I thought of Breton the other night while sifting through the riotous jumble of merchandise offered at eBay, the online auction site. It lists some 3.7 million items organized into 2,900 categories, one of which is fine art. To try it out, I typed in the name of Vincent van Gogh. The search yielded 617 items ranging from a supposed original painting (price: $1 million) to a mass-produced souvenir of artistic torment: a curvy, pinkish rubber objet described with typical eBay poetry as "Van Gogh's Ear -- squish it, squeeze it!" I placed a bid on the ear. The next morning, an e-mail message arrived: "Congratulations on winning Van Gogh's ear. The total is $2.75." Actually, I was at eBay not to accumulate pop-culture artifacts or the anatomical parts of Dutch masters, but rather to purchase original works of art. Curious about the growing and radical phenomenon by which people are buying art they can't see from sellers they can't see, I decided to shop for art online and assemble my own art collection. My budget: an even $1,000 (make that $997.25, after the ear). Naturally, I hoped to find a few sterling works and believed I possessed a sharp enough eye to pluck some rare and lovely gems from eBay's ocean of indifferent merchandise. But there was also a real possibility that I could wind up with a fake. In May, an abstract painting passed off as a Richard Diebenkorn made headlines after it was purchased on eBay for $135,805. Although the sale was stopped, it serves as a cautionary tale about the hazards of buying art on eBay, which, not unlike the classified ads, enables any Joe with a bogus Grandma Moses to post a listing. At present there are at least 50 Web sites offering art for sale. Typical, perhaps, is IncredibleArt.com, where you can type in "landscapes" or "angels" or "fish" and view an array of sincere efforts by living artists in the requested category. At the high end of the trade, sites like Artnet.com are stocked with work by brand-name artists, all of it furnished by reputable art dealers. It's doubtless very convenient if you live in Reykjavik or Tirana and suddenly crave a Nan Goldin photograph for the spot above your couch. EBay, by contrast, is a virtual flea market, the e-flea, with all the unevenness of quality that implies. It might seem to represent the end of the tradition of the collector as connoisseur, but you can also view it as quite the reverse. In an age when collectors are willing to drop $14 million for a classic Rothko and when $2 million gets you a not-so-great Pollock, there is something appealing about an auction site that offers vast availability as well as the chance to buy a work of art for $200 or even $20. Here, you can comb through tens of thousands of works culled from the attics and corner junk shops of America -- and respond to the values embodied in an object rather than to a wall label or a brand name. Until the day when I clicked onto www.ebay.com, I had never purchased a work of art. This negative achievement was no doubt related to my profession: art critics are obligated to carp, not consume. Instead of putting my money where my mouth was, I put my mouth where other people's money was. In the 80's, the tax cuts at the heart of Ronald Reagan's voodoo economics sent art prices soaring, and critics felt predictably miffed as sky-high records set in the auction rooms of Manhattan brought on an age in which money seemed to be the sole arbiter of cultural worth. EBay, too, is an auction room, but of a vigorously plebeian stripe. Works of art are treated as priced-to-go merchandise, as if they were bowling balls or Hawaiian shirts. So what was I doing here? When I first clicked on, there were listings for 37,814 fine-art objects, and I found it fascinating to browse through them. I liked the openness, the lack of pretense of a place where a signed Christo photograph, a Malevich exhibition poster from the Tate Gallery in London and a Raphael Soyer charcoal sketch appeared in the company of pictures that were variously described as "Original Impressionist Oil Painting, $5.99," or "Original Painting Signed Alice $9.99" or "Artist Has Same Astrology Chart as Picasso $50." What sort of art do Americans display in their homes? EBay offers an unofficial survey of everything out there, an impromptu sociology lesson on American taste. A large percentage of eBay's holdings consists of reproductions of celebrated works -- for instance, a plaster replica of Degas's sculpture "The Little Dancer" for

After the acclaimed success of The Pinocchio Files The Somniloquy
Institute's home page has been replaced by:
The Missing Gene Project : Why do we speak and (other) animals don't?
After his death in 1994 the private notebooks of the British biologist Sir
Richard Thomas Beacon were released for publication. In these notebooks he
describes an "evolutionary mutation" that once took place in our genes. In
his research - testing the DNA samples of relatives, friends, primates and
parrots, and studying more than 1000 gene charts ('DNA fingerprints') -
Beacon discovered that some people lack the 'word gene' D2433, but don't
seem to have problems with their speech abilities.
The Missing Gene Project is an hommage to Richard Beacon, and with it we
hope to carry on his important contribution to the knowledge of mankind.
Featuring:
- Information about Richard Beacon and his discovery of the word gene D2433
- Its relation with the language theory of the American writer William S.
Burroughs ("Language is a virus")
- Why do people speak, why do primates refuse to, and how about parrots
(including 13 audio files!)
- Scientific information about the word gene D2433 and its location
- Online DNA-test (at this moment better known as 'spitscan'). You are
invited to contribute to the word gene research by testing your DNA online.
You can print out a copy of the testresult.

Large panels extending from the ceiling and walls are page like in their structure, containing various embedded elements and incorporating projections on a grand scale. Some pieces may be explored by gallery visitors through touch. Silkscreen and Palladium prints, as well as cyanotype reflect Knowles' mastery of printmaking. The impetus for Footnotes is a lifelong continua of global travel, from which the artist has literally picked up things and created annotated journals. The concept of footnotes therefore is a means of referencing and reorganizing those travels, transferring the literary device into visual forms. Well-known for her experimental performances and installations from the early 60s in association with Fluxus movement, and by her affiliation with Something Else Press, Knowles has continually investigated the form and content of books. Examples of her previous works include the monumentally scaled Big Book from l967 and a walk-in object The Book of Bean from l983 which was exhibited in the Venice Biennale in l990. In coordination with the exhibition, Granary Books is publishing Knowles's book Footnotes: Collage Journal, 30 Years, incorporating many of the elements of the exhibition but in a different form. There are actual footnotes by the artist here. Copies are available for sale at the gallery. -- Emily Harvey S.

FLUXLIST: Fwd: Digital Art is not DEAD. it's unborn. it's eBay.
in the email today... From: Julie Nelms [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Digital Art is not DEAD. it's unborn. Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 18:40:08 -0500 This is my story: maybe you agree, disagree or think my work looks better as wallpaper on your desktop. Yesterday I posted a digital photomontage for sale on ebay. My gig is to sell my digital artwork in the same format from creation to completion; as a digital file, but still as art. "Sure you can do that so long as they are more than 72 dpi so that folks can print them out" say my pixel-pusher pals. And so it appears there is little to no acceptance for digital art, even amongst the digital artists themselves. It's easily digested when functional, within the context of a web site, but set Digital art on the level of say photography, design or collage and it's seen as useless as a slide without a projector. I beg to differ. So goes my little experiment, with hopes that my work will not go ignored for the wrong reasons. Whether or not you like the work doesn't matter, its whether you accept the medium and view technology as an instrument and as art. As a dual concept the photomontage works are viewable on ebay in actual size, without watermark or signage. My friends say it's crazy, that even if someone likes the work it will be downloaded with no bids or sale/profit for the artist. The consensus is that folks will not pay for what they can easily steal; a theory not unfamiliar on the web. By selling my work in this way, I want to bring awareness to intellectual property rights on the web. Intellectual property rights is not an issue exclusive to music. Visual artists will be much more affected with the growing attentions to digital work then they are at present. I deal with this as a theme in my work within my own site. It's an issue not much debated perhaps because what we expect to occur is what we hold to be true; no one will pay for what is openly exposed on the www landscape, and not at a time when the rules are just beginning to be written. That's not to say we need more policing or restrictions; I can't possibly create the solution for this issue despite its effects on me and my work. The freedom of the web is fantastic; the accessibility of information is a gift and both the actual and potential for artistic exchange is phenomenal. I've seen the benefit on sites like halfbakery.com where ideas and exchanges are free as water. I both save and borrow from other digital artists' work for reference and for my collage. Maybe I'm seen as a thief as well? I have eight days left on my auction, so let's get bidding. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=472629715 Photoshoplifters of the world unite!

FLUXLIST: Fwd: ec-satyricOn 2000
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 18:13:57 -0400 Subject: ec-satyricOn 2000 From: Joseph Nechvatal [EMAIL PROTECTED] For Immediate Release Joseph Nechvatal ec-satyricOn 2000 October 26 - December 02 Universal Concepts Unlimited announces the opening of ec-satyricOn 2000 (enhanced)+ bodies in the bit-stream (compliant) a digital-based exhibition of recent work by Joseph Nechvatal, on Thursday, October 26 from 6-8 PM. Since 1985, Joseph Nechvatal has been exploring what he calls the viractual¹ image; a complex numeric image which consists of a mixture of drawing, digital-photography, painting, written language, and externalized computer code - all of which is submitted to computational manipulations (including viral attacks). Based loosely around passages from a cyber-sex farce novella he wrote in Paris called ~venus©-~Ñ~vibrator, even - and from certain passages from Gaius Petronius Arbiter¹s (~27-66 AD) book Satyricon, this exhibition puts forth a mingling of the virtual, the aesthetic, and the sexual. The exhibition consists of six large computer-robotic assisted paintings which, together, create a sweeping, immersive environment. Also, a specially rubber-bound example of ~venus©-~Ñ~vibrator, even will be on display, as well as a suite of unique digital prints from the code x series, and a dvd animated puppet show. Nechvatal¹s stated intentions are to pictorially integrate the occurrence of the loss of subjectivity as experienced in sexual transport and sexual fantasies with the philosophical loss of sovereignty typical of the disembodied finesse encountered when immersed in virtual space. Here - for example with the loss of body consciousness specific to total-immersion within a virtual reality environment - one frequently senses a transport dissolution moving consciousness away from nature, even while developing a slightly ridiculous, Fellini-like, human self-consciousness. In encounters with virtualizing digitization, representations of carnal pulp used in fleshing-out ec-satyricOn 2000 (primarily female silicon-implanted breasts, Nechvatal¹s testicles, various labia, elbows, knees, and the posterior glutinous maximus of both sexes - some procured on-line, others via digital photographic techniques) are turned diaphanous through various reproductive digital processes and synthetic maneuvers - including viral attacks. The programming used to enact the computer viral attacks was developed by Nechvatal in 1992-3. Joseph Nechvatal has exhibited his work widely in Europe and the United States, both in private and public venues. He is in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum, the Moderna Musset in Stockholm and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

FLUXLIST: Fwd: I want to know more about Allan Kaprow
Can anyone out there help this person 1. get more info about Allan Kaprow, 2. make direct contact with Allan Kaprow? A side note about Allan Kaprow and "Happenings" on the internet. The problem with finding info about Allan Kaprow and/or "Happenings" on the internet is that "Happenings" is a frequently used, generic word. Many organizations refer to their calendar/coming events as "Happenings" so you get back a huge number of hits if you use that as a search word...almost all of which are false alarms. If you search for Allan Kaprow you get far fewer hits and you are left with the suspicion that there are potentially many more websites/pages addressing past and current "Happenings" that don't refer to Kaprow. Compare this to "Fluxus:" Fluxus is such a unique word that most internet search engine hits are accurate. Not every Fluxus site/page refers to "Maciunas" so searching only for "Maciunas" leads to far fewer Fluxus web pages. Is it possible that Fluxus (because of the rise of the internet and the use of keyword searching) has an unfair historical advantage over Happenings because of this arbitrary difference? Is it possible that Happenings is a victim of its own, greater cultural success? Perhaps the Fluxus meme should stage a hostile takeover of the Happenings meme...to save it and give it a more unique home on the Internet.

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties overall states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up revocation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up aluminium. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up vocabulary. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as like and you know is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up interspersed. 2. There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isnt that hard. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, God Save The Queen, but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American football. There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American football is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays American football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. Merde is French for shit. 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called Indecisive Day. 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. Its been driving us crazy.

FLUXLIST: Heiko's Fluxus Memory Test
Okay boys and girls, I believe that Heiko's most recent email may be a Fluxus Memory Test challenging people to remember the difficulties caused by the virus that came in his last email attachment. And what would the appropriate Fluxus response be? Allen And there is still l3enc.exe around. IMHO the very, very best when it comes to very low bandwidth. Do an altavista search !!! And do compare the results with 8000 bits/sec. An example of such low bitrate internet radio is at http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs106/stanfor4.mp3 Thanks to Miles and the students at Stanford, who recorded this, in 1972. I think I just attach one of the first MIDI things from the MIDI list. Sent through a swedish piece of software, that thinks, it can add some "human touch". Lost the URL, but its called "director musices". We had much worse things on this list here, so when somebody likes to add something...go on. Think me was the overdriven guitar, so dont hesitate. Btw, there might be still some tool to use the ordinary PeeCee computer keyboard as MIDI input device, ask altavista for "midikeys". Great !! H. I was thinking of low bandwidth streams for modem. Sotosay internet radio. I dont want my music in realaudio !! ;-) Or Quicktime ;-) H.
Re: FLUXLIST: To Name (Beuys and Fluxus)
I am certainly no Fluxus historian or scholar, but my own understanding of Beuys' relationship to Fluxus is that it was fairly brief and that this contact did not have a major influence on either him or on "Fluxus" (i.e., the other more central Fluxus participants). That may not be accurate, but I am a "people on this list," and that is my own understanding. The last time I updated the www.fluxus.org page I included Joseph Beuys under the "Classic Flux Folks" heading (instead of under "Often Associated with Fluxus") because he IS often mentioned and referred to when early/1960s Fluxus is discussed. Just seems easier and more helpful to include him when offering a set of Fluxus links for people to explore than to exclude him. This also reflects my strong bias that Fluxus has greater potential if we approach it as being inclusive/open than exclusive/closed. Hell, I actually think Fluxus is still going and that I am actively participating in it. You can't get much more inclusive or open than that. It's my own private delusion and most people find it to be fairly harmless (if not actually charming). Which raises another question: So why aren't there more Fluxus artists listed on the www.fluxus.org page under the "Class Flux Folks" heading? Because the last time I updated it (more than a year ago! how pathetic!), I included as many "classic" Fluxus artists as I could find links to. If I was able to find Internet links to websites focusing on someone who or whose work is often associated with Fluxus, I included them. So the list was limited by who/what I could find on the internet at the time, by my internet-search skills, and by my personal understanding of who has been involved with Fluxus. This explains why many other more legitimate Flux folks were not included in this list ... but does not explain how I misspelled Beuys' name. I look forward to the arrival of a definitive, accurate, comprehensive Fluxus website and internet resource. I don't think we've seen it yet. For one thing, it will have to be bigger than than anything that is already out there on the internet. It will have to be bigger than Fluxus Codex (which itself only captures a subset of early Fluxus). Will Ben Vautier create it? Will the University of Iowa? I don't know. It is clear that I do not have the time, resources, background, or inclination to create it (or to keep up with it) myself (I'd rather spend the time creating and documenting my own little goofy "Fluxus" projects). When the definitive historical Fluxus website does arrive I will be happy to fold up my own home-made unprofessional efforts (unless someone convinces me before than that I am actually doing more harm than good). I would also be willing to turn over the www.fluxus.org domain name to a reputable party committed to making such an effort. What was the question? Allen B It is my impression that a lot of people on the list consider him to be a key person in how they understand Fluxus to be. And the infamous traveling show "Fluxus in Germany" sponsored and organized by IFA in Stuttgart certainly states so. It is interesting that Beuys' pupil Henning Christiansen also in Germany is considered associated with the Flux network. He never was. Eric tartarugo wrote: Eric Andersen wrote: It is amazing how especially German art history has manipulated lots of people to believe that Joseph Beuys was a central figure in the Flux network. In fact, there was not much contact. And Beuys' Selbstdarstellung, Shamanism and metaphysics are really quite opposite worlds to intermedia. Eric Andersen I agree with Eric. But I wonder that anybody thinks that Beuys was a central figure in the Flux network. Well, I really don't know if that's the view from USA but I think that from here, in Europe, it's very clear that for Beuys "Fluxus" was only another tool he used to develop his own project, althought he and some other Fluxus artists met in some festivals. Some comments by Beuys himself: "...I link only externaly, for organization, but not conceptually, with the neodadaists, with the Fluxus people, who was working, most of them, in the field of Dadá, and at the same time, I developed my own concept of Fluxus, independently of dadaism and neodadaism..." It seems that the use of the word Fluxus allowed Beuys to extend his own ideas during a time, through some festivals in Germany (as in "Festum Fluxorum - Fluxus" in Dusseldorf). He use only as propaganda and within the context of his own ideas and conceptual background. After the mid sixties, references to Fluxus or Flux in the title of his works became rare. (In another hand, it's interesting to observe that after this period, when Beuys use the term Fluxus for a work, this work is linked with music or acoustic elements and most of the cases, with compositions by Henning Christiansen, as in MANRESA or in

Re: FLUXLIST: Beuys
thank you thank you thank you My first memories of hearing about Fluxus and Happenings--I was about ten--in 1963. Some friends who visited a lot from New York City talked about it--my brother who was seven and I were fascinated-- "Happenings"--"Fluxus"--sounded like the amazing things one saw continually as small child in small Vermont village--daily things of startling import and awe inspiring magic--that were always in "flux" or "happening all around us"-- Like the man who came into town with a bear strapped to his truck crying --he hadn't t realized he was so "blind drunk" that he had shot this instead of a deer!--or farmers who painted "COW" on all their cows so hunters from out of state wouldn't t shoot them by mistake during hunting season--prompting the question--can people from out of the state READ?--as they shot them anyway-- Or the woman who escaped from the mental institution and arrived in our general stare stark naked, walked around for some hours fingering items on the shelves and talking to the populace at large--as no one bothered to call the police or any authority figure as was far too interesting a Happening to interupt! The same friends had talked about Concrete Poetry so my father had an anthology--this was a bit later--which also prompted quite some enthusiasm--on or part--we got hold of lot of concrete blocks from various half hearted unfinished construction projects now sinking into weeds and made "Concrete" Poems by arranging the blocks in the back yard-- Were "Pooh Sticks" Fluxus we wondered? How about the man down the street who periodically hung an effigy of his wife from the top of the barn fro passersby to see--and she retaliated ted by slaughtering his dog-- in front of a group of invited friends, before serving a picnic lunch in the pasture? Or the time my mother wanted to make us boudin (french-canadian blood sausage)--and she was so revolted by the sight of twenty jars of pig blood a friend began unloading from his station wagon--she vomited and ordered us to dispose of it-- so we hauled over the the jars and spread them paint-like all over a despised neighbor's field, writing obscenities in blood--and all the dogs for miles around came and madly began howling and licking the blood from the grass and rocks and stubble-- the police were called and stood there laughing and applauding the ingenuity of the wrong doers--as they also disliked the fellow-- we thought this all might have something to do with Fluxus and Happenings-- so used to produce plays in the junked car lot in a pasture, where the chickens laid eggs in back seats of trashed Chevrolets smelling of old afternoons, cum and beer, cigarettes--and cows hid out from thunderstorms among rust corroded trucks-- plays in which we had "vanishing events"--ie. burning things!--and we'd sing worldess sound songs to the smoke carrying away the trash-- or invade the town dump with an 8mm movie camera to film our idea of Rimbaud's A SEASON IN HELL-- we had our friends bring up things from NYC about Fluxus and Happenings--also of great interest were the journals EAST VILLAGE OTHER and Ed Sanders' FUCK YOU A MAGAZINE OF THE ARTS-- all this was before went to live in France in 67-68, 69 and '70--and discovered "action art" i.e. making bombs and grafitti-- posters and begin learning about the Paris Commune, Rimbaud, "les petroleuses" (women incendiaries of the Commune)-- Situationism, Anarchism-- the only Flux person met in person--besides Dick Higgins in 97--was Nam June Paik--audited a course he taught at MIT in the late '70's-- to me the great movements of the 20th century--beginning with Futurism in Italy, then Russia, Cubist use of collage, Dada, (Schwitters i think kind of the one artist one might say so many art forms in so many media radiate outwards from--)--early modernism of William Carlos Williams' SPRING AND ALL in america--in all of these what is important and is to me in Fluxus--is th use of everyday materials, that art and life not seperate-- and that things though they may be in Flux, are also concrete-- from the material world of the senses, not solely "conceptual" "theoretical" i like Fluxlist as only list I know of where we actually get together and MAKE things, events, contacts, virtual sites, happenings as well as materialized ones--not just talking "about", but making-- doing, living-- "What is not in the open street is false, derived, that is to say, literature" --Henry Miller "The 14th Ward" in BLACK SPRING the only actual Fluxus dpcument i have left from back then is 'THIS IS A FLUXUS ADVERTISMENT" wrap around cover strip for the Fall 1963 issue of FILM CULTURE--corrugated carboard cover with a round hole in it so one eye of

FLUXLIST: CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN - MORE WRONG THINGS
CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN MORE WRONG THINGS 18 Jan - 10 Feb 2001 White Box Gallery 525 West 26th Street New York NY 10001 (212) 714-2347 More Wrong Things is a site specific multi-channel video installation. The installation activates the entire gallery space with fourteen video monitors suspended from the ceiling within an extended tangle of wires, cables and cords. Video loops seen on the monitors sequence a compendium of Wrong Things; juxtaposing Schneemann's visual archives of personal and public disasters. These elements are composed in relation to the beams, conduits and pipes which define the distinctive architectural aspects of White Box Gallery. More Wrong Things offers a counter-position to current trends of costly fabrication and refined presentation. A wall of recent Iris prints further integrates sources of more wrong things. The opening is January 18th from 6-8 PM
FLUXLIST: Anyone want to take over the Fluxus Bulletin Board?
I just fired myself as the editor of the Fluxus Bulletin Board http://www.nutscape.com/fluxus/bulletin/. I completely missed last year. So I'm out. The new editor of the Fluxus Bulletin Board might have the following qualifications: 1. some sense of what fluxus was and might continue to be 2. some knowledge of and contact with the original/classic/sanctified Flux folks or some way of gathering information about their current activities 3. openness to the idea of including current projects from non-original, non-classic, non-sanctified people as bulletin board entries 4. some knowledge of html or wysiwyg-web design and the ability to ftp/upload webpages to the nutscape server At minimum, the Bulletin Board could be maintained simply by pulling information and announcements off FLUXLIST and repackaging it for the Bulletin Board. This was the original conception of the Fluxus Bulletin Board: that it would be the events and activities companion to FLUXLIST and that FLUXLIST would be its main source of information. This is a non-paying position that has the potential to generate slightly more condescension and criticism than approval or appreciation--if any response or reaction at all. If interested, please let me know. Allen Bukoff hopefully former editor of the Fluxus Bulletin Board P.S. This should not be construed as any waning interest in Fluxus on my part. It's wired in, it's deep in my bones.
