The Fluxist App

"Fluxus is not:
- a moment in history, or
- an art movement.
Fluxus is:
- a way of doing things,
- a tradition, and,
- a way of life and death."
Theme:

Using XCode students will create a Fuxus art app. This will be an exploration of sound and images.

-Magic Trick #2
Walk on stage with a sledge hammer, an egg and a small tape recorder. Place the egg on one side of the stage. Place the tape recorder on the opposite side of the stage. Turn the recorder on in the playback mode.
Walk back to the egg. Pick up the hammer. Raise it high. Wait 30 seconds and smash the egg. Stand and wait. After 15 seconds, the tape recorder plays the noise of a chicken.
