Month: October 2017

In the interest of showing my research process, I’ll add some bits and pieces here:

I found a pdf copy of The Fluxus Reader online. (If this needs to be taken down, please let me know and I’ll oblige) Plenty to digest here, so I’ll be picking at it as the rest of the semester goes on.

There are some typos in the PDF, I believe from OCR glitches. I’ve cleaned up a little bit, but some were a little too far gone for me to guess the original intent. Ken Friedman says this:

1. When programming visual digital art, at the first point where you decide to use a color, ask someone else to pick the color for you.

Daily practice time! For Temp Ex, we’ve been asked to do a constraints-based exercise for one week. We need to *make stuff* in relation to our topic. Make make make!

For this week, I have developed an event score. In order to get comfortable with event score ideas, and put my money where my mouth is, I have decided to perform my event score every day.

1. When programming visual digital art, at the first point where you decide to use a color, ask someone else to pick the color for you.
2. Have them explain their choice.
3. Dedicate the color to them.

This is based off a piece I recently made (“Green Apples”, for The Poetics of Space), and I want to make variations on it to explore the idea.

Here is my day one:

Event Score Daily Practice: Day One Lola

Lola picked a neutral shade of gray: RGB 164,167,167
