Exhibition Poster - Idea exploration

This idea is based and inspired by Fluxus's anti-institutional ideals, that fueled their need to explore unconventional forms of communicating there work. As I found out within my essay Fluxus members began to take full autonomy over there works production and distribution. This led them to interesting new ways of presenting ideas and concepts often with participation at the heart of these systems. Fluxus's intermedia philosophy also has led to interesting combinations of media that today could have a much larger spectum. Ultimately expanding the intermedia chart, could post exhibitions be a part of this? I think within my artist book I read about an artist who would use posters as part of his exhibitions outside this would refer inform my practice. 

Happenings were also a large part of Fluxus which encouraged audience participation. Leafing through the publication Happening 2 design for events. I found some interesting examples of how designers are now pushing this 1960's phenomenon as fare as possible.  

The concept for the Poster exhibition is currently up in the air. 

1. I have thought about using Fluxus memorabilia as the main subject, but looking more at the packaging of Fluxus as a whole as I think its super interesting how George Maciunas created the Fluxus identity with his crazy typographic compositions. 
2. One idea I would love to explore but think the learning curb may actually not allow me to. Would be to create a series of generative code. Processing is a particular element which research pointed to being encouraged by the Fluxus ethos, even to the point of software being created with the name Fluxus this software is for live coding.

1. Another idea looked at A quote I found which explained Fluxus as 'Fluxus aimed to create awareness, they marveled at the mundane often having the everyday activity at the heart of there happenings.' This could be in the form of maybe something like food products. An object we eat daily not often thinking about how such as an orange made its way to us in the winter. 
2. Another interesting approach could be to take inspiration from Fluxus flux postage. This is a sequence of images that shows a number of people smiling. In my case, it could show a person slowing transforming into a digital avatar to represent the new reality of the future. A element I briefly talk about does the conversation of art vs life change. 

Trapped in suburbia are an interesting design studio to look at in terms of work that holds similar values to Fluxus. The studio prides themselves on their experiential design 

Sound Poster 1.0 – A layer of conductive copper paint and a modified synthesiser, hidden behind the print, allow the user to create sound. Touching the copper in two points completes the circuit, and is manipulated through pressure.

Sound Poster 2.0 – Seven samples activated by touch present the possibility to create an actual song and add a multi-player aspect. Silver foil of higher conductivity lay beneath the print and a touch sensor allows the user to interact with the poster.

Sound Poster 3.0 – Provoking curiosity, here a custom explosive ink and a touch sensitive ignition causes the user to ignite the poster resulting in one final explosion.

Sound Poster 4.0 – Mimicking the theremin, the user can, for the first time, control sound without physical contact. A conductive layer senses the distance of the user, allowing a variety of sounds to be made.

Nam June Paik sound exhibition the trapped in surburbia posters use similar techinques but in a much more graphical form. This gave me the idea to take some inspiration from one of his other projects so I looked at Magnetic Tv which got me thinking about them old games you could play with magnets. 

1. When designing this I will also take into consideration the format of sound, visual projection, 3d, augmentation, animation as well as shape and placement. Does the page lay on the ground? on the cline or maybe across a number of walls. Is it a series is it one giant poster?
