Fluxus Fluxlist Retro-definition Piece, by Alex V. Cook, 2001 Start yet another discussion on Fluxlist about what Fluxlist is about. The performance of this piece makes the discussion a Fluxus event, and the list a Fluxus Arena. For any concern about whether this is truly "Fluxus" or not, consult George Macunias. F. F. R-D. P. Addendum, by Alex V. Cook, 2001 Blame Sol Nte for the state of the list. (this seems to be a common by-product of the performance of the above, so it seems to me to be a Fluxus move to call something that will most likely happen anyway a Flusus event. For any concern about whether this is truly "Fluxus" or not, consult George Macunias. >From: "jesse glass" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Flux List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: FLUXLIST: What's Flux Got To Do Got To Do Wid It? >Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2001 03:01:06 -0700 > >What's Flux but a second-hand hobby-hoooooorsuh! > >Sol, honestly, change the name of this list to something else like Positive >Friendship Club. > >I'm not against any of the three words at the end of the previous sentence. > Mix 'em around in any permutational order and I'm still happy, but this >is the FLUX LIST, and I for one hopped on because of the subject. > >I know you were one of the list owners for awhile, and it sounds like >you're a great fellow, but I see absolutely nothing of what you said in >your last postings in the definitions section of the FAQ for this group. > >Of course, those parameters are so loosely defined that one could insert >things like THIS IS A POSITIVE FRIENDSHIP CLUB THAT ONLY TANGENTIALLY HAS >ANYTHING TO DO WITH FLUX.
