RE: FLUXLIST: Baudrillard Quotation
may seem a little maudlin, but I recently attended the local
art museum's re-opening (we're talking multi-millions of our
tax dollars))... good-g0d, I was embarrassed... there were
only a couple of references-by-example-paintings that
kinda-feebly-stood-up but geez! -- just your usual
artworldhistory crap really...

RE: FLUXLIST: Baudrillard Quotation
High Theory is just the ideas that we have when we're high. They are full of
meaning at the time - but the meaning disappears with the buzz.
Low Theory states that, "If you can't eat it, screw it, or piss on it, than
it isn't good for anything".
The most interesting bits of life happen in the Intermediate Theory, which
not coincidentally, seems to be where Fluxus is situated.
A!

Brad:I was at the conference too - Aren't we all showmen [sic] in our own way? I thought that conference was a nice way to situate "high theory," a way to "contaminate" it... Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min.

I suppose that I began to see him as just another showman on
the contemporary-theory bandwagon; hustling for 'currency.'

If you do not wish to be lied to, do not ask QUESTIONS. If there were no QUESTIONS, there would be no lies. B.
