I see fluxus art as an experimental avant garde movement that is closely related to Dada. Fluxus artists wanted to avoid categorizing them selves into one aesthetic or one medium and instead chose to experiment with mixed media, found object and many different types of mediums. Fluxus means flow and change and watching the fluxus video : Wolf Vostell "Sun in your Eyes" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5krhw54oqs
I am inspired by his use of the tv as a medium. I want to embody the meaning of fluxus in my art and find that the medium of Tv is ever changing, especially commercials. Commercials on tv are usually loud, the volume seems much louder than the original tv show you had been watching, they use lots of colors, and they are always on tv. I want to try and film commercials, as many as I can and distort them into a continuous and riotous loop of color. Using video effects I hope to confuse the viewer even more and turn an annoying tv commercial into an even more annoying video/visual experiment.
