What i got from this is that Fluxus is like a science. but Fluxus is everything; its not only science but humor and time, and experiments, and connections between people and many other things. this was hard to understand because no main term was used to describe Fluxus and there was so much that is Fluxus that a definite meaning sort of escaped me. The reading said that Fluxus is global, a unity of art and life, intermedia, experimental, oriented to research, chance, playful, simple, implicativeness, exemplativism, and specific. that all sounds like any art though, but then it said that any art is Fluxus so i have no idea what's going on haha. i did understand several aspects though. globalism- defying boundaries of countries and culture. unity of art and life- making art relatable to the artist or the audiences experiences. intermedia- mixing separate art forms. experimentalism- trying new things and logging results, using lots of research and leaning toward that method. chance- using new things without knowing exactly what the outcome is to help along the evolution of the piece, random changes, almost experimental. playfulness- using humor or jokes in a work, like pun or irony. simplicity- minimalism that makes things concise and more effective. implicativeness- implying more works. time- seeming as though it is continuous or playing with duration. i don't know what exemplativism means though
What i really found interesting, and also don't really understand, was when it mentioned musicality as being a key aspect. i've heard that term or even thought about it before. it refers to a work being about to be realized by someone other than an artist, also it can be made several times. the ability for others to remake the work is something that throws me off. i don't really understand what it refers to but somehow, because i've never heard it before, i want to know more about it and utilize it. but interpretation of its meaning is this; its an aspect that means it can continue, utilizing time, but also it means that people either like the look and begin using it as sort of a logo or brand name (and can either wear it on t shirts or put it on signs or ect.) but they either enjoy reproducing it in different ways or its easy enough to do so. being reproduced and altered over and over really gives it a sense of time, because it continues changing or being copied. that mixture of reproduction and time actually is a specific characteristic (and stands out from the other explanations because its specific)
do u think this is what musicality means? or am i far off?
