Greetings to the Medici University community. I am an artist-in-residence at Camilla 15 in Media Archaeology, a member of Yoko Ono College. I’ve created an homage to Yoko Ono using rubber stamps in my studio in honor of her birthday, Feb 18. My biological agent will be participating in Fluxfest Chicago 2015, honoring Fluxus artists with performance, mail art and intermedia in Chicago, USA this week. You can read all about it at my studio or on the web at http://andrewoleksiuk.blogspot.com. I am looking forward to meeting and friend~ing you inworld. I’ve been creating and researching for quite some time, so feel free to use me as a resource whether you see me in my studio or elsewhere.

Thank you Ti! I just can’t say how much both Yoko Ono and Fluxus mean to us here at MU. There are few things more inspiring in this life than the long tradition of their work.
I can’t encourage everyone too much to follow the link you’ve provided. What a wealth of information about this week’s activities!
Be sure to share this info with KATYPERRYOPOLIS.club GM Amber Grantham! I’m not yet sure of this week’s schedule @KPO! but we should definitely have Fluxfest Week Night! This week’s planned Bonfire of the Vanities night can certainly burn just as bright in another week.

I love the enthusiasm generated here at Medici University. For researchers of Fluxus, the wonderful FluxusPerformanceWorkbook is available at http://www.thing.net/~grist/ld/fluxusworkbook.pdf and it is very suitable for reinterpretation in virtual spaces. Perhaps I will pull out my Dick Higgins poetry generator and Ray Johnson Fluxbox from “Magic Mushrooms” and share it with you in my studio. While Yoko Ono is among the most famous of the art historical Fluxus group, I am also fond of the work of Alison Knowles, Ray Johnson and Nam June Paik. The work of the original Fluxus artists (as named above, and many, many others) has inspired new generations of contemporary Fluxus practitioners, such as Reed Altemus, Allen Bukoff, Mark Bloch, Allan Revich, Bibiana Padilla Maltos, Catherine Mehrl Bennett, Picasso Gaglione, Adamandia Kapsalis, Jennifer Weigel, Darlene Domel and Keith Buchholz, just to name a few. Some of these folks will be performing in Chicago this week. Due to the rigorous terrestrial schedule, my inworld work this week will be limited. I will, however, make a point to share the flavor of Fluxfest with you all at Medici University.

This is so fantastic! More Fluxus! This is dear to my heart, I am sending two pieces of mail art out today (belated Valentine editions). I am also writing several event scores for SL performance. What a time to be alive!
