Are we ever really fin­ished upload­ing the celes­tial orb? Can life become so ornately dis­or­ga­nized that we for­get to down­load our dis­tress and trust in the almighty — the left­over Thanks­giv­ing, fight for it, wake up in the mid­dle of the night and find it, warm it for one minute in the microwave, get me some vanilla […]

It's SODA. The Fluxus Paradox contains us all.

So is the mass a prayer­ful object of “hap­pen­ing” his­tor­i­cal OR is it a vol­ume, a spa­tial, ref­er­ence? And what of this New New Fluxus? It is sub­lime. It is crit­i­cal to the on-​going idea that is Fluxus. Yes, it may be dead but Fluxus doesn’t die any­more than Van Gogh is dead because if you leave your […]

Nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.

Do you ISO or do I? Found out some­thing truly fas­ci­nat­ing today when I perused a knowl­edge lid­bit (which is slightly more than a tid­bit) con­cern­ing what the dimen­sions of a piece A4 paper is. Come to find out, stan­dard paper sizes are based on a sin­gle aspect ratio of the square root of 2 or [√2 = 1:1.4142] The way to figure […]

I have no complaints. I am what I am and I ain't what I ain't.

I’d hoped for an ear­lier date but Doc­tor Doosurgery needs to see my metatarsal improve­ment and sta­bil­ity on Mon­day. The 5.5″ by 3.5″ cards have a 1950s look about them — a retro-​theme of June Meat Cleaver and strands of pearls and Spam served up in […]

The Flux Cloud speaks and formats; it knows and sees.

Here I am poised, wait­ing for the media to medi­ate the form of my inspi­ra­tion. Dig­i­tal or Real? Online or in per­son? Card­board or com­puter? But for now, it’s just a Flux Cloud, keep­ing me in tune with the magic Emmett gets in his head when he’s asleep… after the sun goes to Raleigh. And when Ollie smiles in […]

Mulch, the NuvoFluxus of Mine

Hard to fathom but the truth is, “yes, I am read­ing Dante — The Divine Com­edy I: Hell because I enjoy it.” You can grab your own copy of it by click­ing on the link. The ref­er­ence method used above is sus­pect and extremely ques­tion­able. No one’s required The Assem­blag­ist to uti­lize Tura­bian or any man­ual of style since […]
