thefutureisNOW?

thefutureisNOW? is a performative action born within the Flu水o project, spreading across different spaces and contexts, rewriting an uncontrollable liquid score each time.

In Zen for Head, Paik dips his head into paint and draws a line on paper, and then leaves the work open to anyone who wants to reproduce it. We started from here, from the bodily gesture and the liquid substance.

We have translated the action of NJP into 5 indications:
_working with matter, be it painting, paper, a bucket or something else.
_work on the trace, leave a trace, like a snail.
_work with liquid substances.
_working – as in the poetics of Fluxus – on a duration that is determined by a concrete temporality: the exhaustion of a matter, the evaporation of a substance, the consumption of all energy.
_working with the body as it is there, in its physical dynamics and presence.

Liquid, liquids, fluid, sea – waters as place-substance, with the writings that are produced in its liquid body.
Two tracks emerged:
+ bioluminescence – bodies-bacteria, biowritings. Living bodies, the waters are colonies teeming with beings, a connective substance between beings, a living writing.
+ toxic bodies/corrosive bodies – pollutants, agents that break and destroy. The traces of toxic bodies and radioactive substances remain for a long time, they are also forms of writing, sometimes highly harmful. Radical alterities.
