PROJECT 4: The Fluxus Score<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE: To pursue and define the concept of the artist\u2019s tool, to explore surreal or altered states of consciousness, to consider chance operations in developing participatory time based performances.<\/p>\n

GOAL: To create and lead a group performance scenario, or situation, using a clearly delineated score.<\/p>\n

PROCESS:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is a Fluxus Score? Watch the videos in the References. Do the readings.<\/li>\n
  2. Answer these questions for yourself:\n
      \n
    1. How do you define \u201ctechnology \/ tools\u201d for yourself?<\/li>\n
    2. Can tools be used to express human concerns?<\/li>\n
    3. How is the meaning of your artwork affected (reinforced \/ diminished) by the use of technology \/ tools?<\/li>\n
    4. How do we distinguish the world of dreams or the unconscious mind from the \u201creal\u201d world?<\/li>\n
    5. How have artists interacted with other disciplines to understand the unconscious mind?<\/li>\n
    6. What would be some ways of explore the theme of dream worlds in your own artwork?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    7. Select a tool \/ object that can be used as a \u201ctool\u201d.<\/li>\n
    8. How could you choreograph how people use this tool to alter their perceptions \/ help them think different \/ enter a surreal space \/ perform a ritual.<\/li>\n
    9. Break your performance into a sequence of steps. This is your score. There should be at least 3 and no more than 15 steps.<\/li>\n
    10. Scores should take 5-10 minutes to complete.<\/li>\n
    11. Consider if you want a chance element involved. (See John Cage \/ Merce Cunningham)<\/li>\n
    12. Consider any other props \/ costumes you may need for this piece. Also consider how the score will be presented. On paper tacked to a wall? On cards in a box? Played through a computer\u2019s speakers? Etc.<\/li>\n
    13. Present and film your piece. Be prepared: we will be \u201cperforming\u201d these scores in the classroom, your peers will be the participants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
