Re: [microsound] Linzhoax etc.



thanks to peter and ivan for some great comments...


this type of reaction seems to happen all over... perhaps not as disgruntled as in this case.


when robin rimbaud (scanner) came here to washington dc to give a presentation/talk at the corcorn gallery of art numerous people expected a live performance... even though the ads/invitations did not say LIVE anywhere... basically it was described as a presentation in so many words...

but this did not stop people from thinking it would be a performance.

so why is it that if a musician/sound artist is to present something... in people's minds it means LIVE ONSTAGE!! : ) ????



does the audience come for that person or the work that person creates? and how do they assertain "their money's worth"

if i enjoy a performance.. that is my moneys worth...(but hey thats just me)

PS: back in the 60s andy warhol was having other people do his paintings for him as well as having a stand in for speaking engagements and still people get their feathers ruffled by this "ourageous idea" if someone else does it. aaaaah art society... so fickle....
