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".

1. It’s all Fluxus until someone cries

6. 22-person foosball
Maurizio 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.

7. Against the artificial
Fuck the art world
Art = Life

8. 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.”

10. Question for today:
What games can be.
