EN: Fluxus Manifesto

As a very interesting conceptual guideline for the approach Live Cinema could take the Fluxus Manifesto from 1963 written by Maciunas and corrected by Joseph Beys is acting as a nice prototype:

* Purge the world of bourgeois, sickness "intellectual" professional & commercialized culture, PURGE the world of dead art, imitation, artificial art, abstract art, illusionistic art, mathemetical art,
PURGE THE WORLD OF AMERICANISM

* PROMOTE A REVOLUTIONARY FLOOD AND TIDE IN ART: Promote living art, anti-art promote NON ART REALITY to be grasped by all peoples, not only critics, dilettantes and professionals.

* FUSE the cadres of cultural, social & political revolutionaries into united front & action.

EN: Ubu Web Avantgarde Film Archive

There you are reading and studying and neglecting ones favorite blogs. Then your internet stops working and to see if all is back to normal you check these favorite blogs and coincidentally it happens that exactly what you are reading offline about is featured online. Namely I am researching the Fluxus movement and see if any of things happening inside outside besides this art collective might be relevant to the Live Cinema. Now a moving picture tells more then a thousand words and so is eyebeam linking to an article on NoOffense that got it from delicious/tag/art/ (now I hope that in a moment of flux you are so fluctuated as to be lost in hyperlinking or something). Anyway the cool link is to UbuWeb a free nonprofit anti corporate website dedicated to the archival of lost art - namely music, poetry and film. The selections of films to my interest includes the almost complete fluxus collection of George Maciunas and includes works by all of Fluxus memebers (yoko ono, george brecht, pieter vanderbeck etc etc etc) unseen work from oskar fischinger and walter ruttmann and many other artists that I have not heard about but are probably worth checking out if they are in that list.
