Fluxus boxes were intended as non linear narratives to be handled, touched, performed, disseminated, destroyed, reassembled, counted and reconfigured.
Just as cinema montage and music had learned, the orchestration of symbols, visions and other sensorial components was able to create novel scenarios. Interactivity and tangibility created a state of continuous recombination, multiplying interpretation and cognitively activating people, who became part of the artwork while handling, imagining and communicating. The connection with the ordinary flow of life created new dimensions in the world: stratified, recombinant and engaging.
In occasion of the 50 years of FLUXUS we have decided to research on this wonderful form of expression, both for the innovation it has provided in the arts and for its connection with many of the mutation processes that are going on with contemporary humanity and their ability to experience media, communicate and interact.
At the event Mercoledì da NABA series of events, on December 15th 2010, we will hold a workshop/performance in which we will build a Fluxus Box using Augmented Reality and other cross-medial techniques and technologies.
The ojective will be to research on the Fluxus Box approach, and to appy it at a “meta” level. The objects contained in the box will be tools through which the experience of multiple Fluxus Boxes will be holdable, remixable, juxtaposable, recombinable, enacting a meta-performance encompassing possibly infinite remixed reenactments of Fluxus performances, experiences and events.
The box we will produced will be donated to the NABA, and the custom software that will be created for the occasion will be released under a GPL2 licensing scheme, so that it will be usable by artists, students and practitioners worldwide, in a further level of the performance.

This camera is a gift from my friend Tümer Ekşioğlu

Box cameras on the market in the 1930s were rugged, inexpensive, and easy to use.
Some had built-in accessories, others had attachments, but consumers liked them all.
Box cameras got their name from their rigid boxy shape, most often rectangular but sometimes a cube. They often had fixed focus, fixed lens opening and limited speeds. They gave the beginner an opportunity to learn the basics of photography such as composition and subject choice, without too much emphasis on complicated technical details.
The most common problem with these Agfa box cameras was difficulty in loading the film. It was hard to keep light from hitting the film and causing fogginess on the edges of the finished print. In spite of this drawback, box cameras were surprisingly easy to use for outdoor and indoor portraits, action shots, landscapes, and silhouettes.
The box open showing some of the items you can put in the box when it is finished.
It has everything you need to paint pictures up to any size when you add your own items.
You can paint 16" x 20" by using a watercolor light weight board.

Three little wooden boxes and that little bit of pink I believe is a friendship loom band - which appears to be all the craze. You makes the little bracelets and give them to your friends. Lewis was given this one from his cousin, Skye ~ she's a girl hence the pink!!
Our Daily Challenge ~ BOXES ....
Thanks, in advance, to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
I shot this last year as a feature for Drivenmotive but never got the chance to put them up. The amount of precision and work that Mike put into this car is absolutely amazing. If you ever get the chance to see Mike in person, stop by and say hi. You won't be disappointed with him or what he's done with this Scion.

Ramsbottom Station signal box 7 signal (Down Home) protects Bridge Street level crossing with the signal box and 10 signal (Up Home) visible beyond. Saturday 18th February 1984
Ramsbottom Station signal box is a London Midland and Scottish Railway Type 11c design which opened in 1938 fitted with a 40 lever Railway Executive Committee frame, replacing Ramsbottom South, Ramsbottom Station and Ramsbottom North Sidings signal boxes. The box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 4th June 1972 and it closed on 5th December 1980 along with the Castleton to Rawtenstall single line. Eventually ownership passed to the East Lancashire Railway who reopened it on 17th November 1990
The box carries a British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplate, and 7 signal is carried on a London Midland and Scottish Railway designed all-welded stem right-hand bracket
Many thanks to Ingy the Wingy
BOX DATE: None
APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE: 2007
MANUFACTURER: M.G.A.
DOLLS IN LINE: Cloe; Yasmin; Sasha
MISSING ITEMS: Earrings, sunglasses, dog, coat, 2 shopping bags, coffee cup
PERSONAL FUN FACT: It's really interesting how Walking Cloe's pants don't come off--she has large attached boots that prevent this. Her shirt seemingly is also stuck on her, but with some prodding and patience, you can slip the narrow sleeves over her attached leash feature. Of course doing this repetitively probably isn't the best idea because it will cause the shirt to stretch out. This t-shirt is absolutely adorable--it almost looks like it has a fancy crest design. But instead of having the name of a school or some exclusive club in the center of it, this crest has the shadow of a dog...so cute and bratty! This crest design reminds me a lot of the ones used for Bratzillaz, which makes me love it that much more. I'm really glad that I got this shirt on my Walking Cloe doll--I'm not sure what else I would have been able to get over her molded leash feature (perhaps a tank top of sorts).
This is a box that I made for my wife for Christmas. Although she is a westerner, she speaks Vietnamese, and her viet name is Yến, which means Swallow. For this reason, I put a small inlay of a barn swallow in the bottom left corner of the top of the box.
This was my first attempt at using an inlay. I cut the shape from a mother of pearl blank, and then used a mini-router (dremel) to cut the pocket for the inlay.
The box measures roughly 10"x16"x6". The sides are rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), the top is American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) with a maple (Acer rubrum) and Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens ) frame. The bottom of the box (although you can't see it) is cedar (Thuja plicata).
The hinges on the back are brass, and are pocketed in small mortises.
I finished the box with about 10 coats of wipe on poly that was then sanded to p2500 grit, and then buffed to a piano-like shine. I will add a wax later this week.
The photos don't do the irridescent top justice. The chatoyancy of the figured black walnut and the bloodwood is outstanding.
I still have some work to do with the inside, and there are a few small mistakes, but overall I am pleased with this box.
My brother gave me this box of treats when he came back from Japan. It was so elegantly presented, I had to take pictures while I ruined its perfection.

I just re-edited these diagrams, squeezing 2 pages of drawings into one. I changed the fonts but retained the original drawings including the dot-shading of the colour side of the paper.
These diagrams are also posted at my new website, hosted by Nick Robinson here - www.nickrobinson.info/clients/owrigami/show_diagram.php?d...
