DESCRIPTION
A presentation I gave for the second FAZE event about the relation between Fluxus and video games. Situationists will hate me for this. Since there's neither "Art" nor "Games" category on slideshare I've put it in "Spiritual".

It’s all Fluxus until someone cries
22-person foosballMaurizio Cattelan’s 22-person
foosball table may just look like a lot of fun, but apparently its original
presentation was more political than recreational, as the first game played
on it was between a team of white Italians and one of North African
immigrants.

Fuck the art world
Art = Life
Fluxus?
“The Fluxus movement... developed its 'anti-art', anti-commercial aesthetics under the leadership of George Maciunas. Fluxus staged a series of festivals in Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London and New York, with avant-garde performances often spilling out into the street. Most of the experimental artists of the period, including Joseph Beuys, Yoko Ono and Nam June Paik, took part in Fluxus events. The movement, which still continues, played an important role in the opening up of definitions of what art can be.”
Question for today: What games can be.
