Fortunately Fluxed
Imagine the possibilities! Yes, you too can control your ceiling fan.
I have decided to reveal my latest FluxVention. NuvoFlux reveals. Excels. Repels. Convection optimum button-glove recess reviews.
It is tempting to create random posts from my own word disorganization effects in that it is Halloween, I am absolutely exhausted and should be asleep…
But create is the credo. So herewith is the Flux Light Adjuster With Optional full hand grip-lock capability. All patents filed and this product is fully warranted to last for years of careful use.
IUOMA Novel
There’s a video of the novel’s progress thus far.

IUOMA member Susanna Lakner created the video so we could see what has been added. Wow. What a fantastic idea. I can’t wait to receive it… and am trusting there’s room left for me at the ass end of the novel.
The project, created by Alex Jones, will travel the world. Here is the project description:
I am sending a book off and each person that receives it will add one page to the story then they pass it on to the next person. Once you have sent it on please note so on this group so that the book never goes back to the same person twice.
Before it is NuvoFluxus, it is Driveway Discard
Sometimes Brown St. offers up a bit of goodness on Trash Day.
Ready for the opera or are you just picking your seat?
Today though, I decided to offer up a photo of a pocketbook I made last year.
And then add the roadside treasures.
Da dee dee da.
The renaming of Fluxus. Can it really occur? Will today’s current “fluxus” artists give up their mantle and exchange it?
I say this: Fluxus of 1950s-1970s cannot move forward. It is trapped in its current time frame by technology.
Even New New Fluxus would be incorrect.
Plastic. The innocuous addition of plastic to life, its ever present never ending assault on our days, our food, our flux. With the advent of plastic, silicon chips, and micro-processors — Fluxus ceased to move forward. It became redundant. It is pre-War, almost, in its grasp of our world technological advances. New Art must reflect the idea and the reality of mass culture consumption, an idea which was not fully realized until after 1980.
“We cannot surrender until Pedro finishes his song.”
“Then make it a long one cause we ain’t never gonna’ give up.”

It’s here! It’s here! Thanks be to Amazon, all glory to internet commerce, hail Ceasar! And now my day’s plans change for the better. I shall immerse myself in Fluxus.
Happenings, Fluxus, Performance, Intermedia and Rutgers University 1958-1972.
Give me a little while and then
More Will Be Revealed.
A MoMA moment without my momma
Reading the flux dialog on the fluxus idea on the MoMA website. Herein are a few of the words they speak on George Maciunas and Fluxus. In an all-illuminating conversation with FB friend Billie and other Fluxus Folks, it’s all becoming clear to me.
ergh.
MoMA’s collection details on FLUXUS says:
Perhaps most important of all of Maciunas’s publishing activities remain the object multiples, conceived as inexpensive, mass-produced unlimited editions. These were either works made by individual Fluxus artists, sometimes in collaboration with Maciunas, or, most controversially, Maciunas’s own interpretations of an artist’s concept or score. Their purpose was to erode the cultural status of art and to help to eliminate the artist’s ego.
