This is the blog of the Monday night Media Theory and Design class. Yep - it's where you hand in most of your homework and class projects.

I watched a couple videos that showed up after searching fluxus on youtube, just to get a basic idea of what the reading was referring to. The reading itself is straight forward, it's just that the writers seem to assume the reader already has a basic knowledge of the art form. It's never mentioned that it's video art, although I suppose we should assume that from a reading in this particular course. Anyway, some of the older pieces I found (one by Wolf) were quite boring odd arrangements of shots, where the author did things just to make the movie unusual and thus art. I honestly don't give credit to art that doesn't engage one's senses, just because it's unusual or different doesn't make it special. The more recent fluxus videos were interesting however, partly because there was some music to set the mood, but the shots were also much more clearly defined, yet still random.
