From Fluxus to Functional A Journey Through Interactive Art

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Maps Fluxus practices to present day Clojure art with concrete examples and tools, arguing medium determines merit. Shows Aaron painting machine (Harold Cohen) as a physical painter, cites Duchamp ready‑mades like Painting to Hammer and Nail and Nam June Paik’s Participation TV, and presents live performances by REPL Electric and Meta-ex built with Clojure, Overtone and shaders as live-coded audio/visual performance. Claims interactive code plus reuse of Fluxus intermedia yields reproducible yet site-dependent works and treats code libraries (fluxes) as modern instruments.
