Flux Intentionalities, ephemeral and/or spontaneous actions unannounced & undocumented.

As this project unfolded over the years developing a kitchen sink modality, I have realized that almost anything could be made to fit into its parameters. This led me to meditations on intentionality, how we choose what becomes an aesthetic object, and the possible constructions of production, audience and participation different approaches might yield. From these ruminations I have decided to create a category of actions for B/M/E that are pure intentionality. Below is an ongoing list of actions, gestures, engagements, interactions which I performed exactly as I would have had I not been considering them as part of this 30 year project, but I never-the-less have deemed them to be aesthetic objects. I have made a partial record of these performances below. In most cases I have listed the time, location, some elements and/or involved agents. In some cases I have omitted some details. I have my reasons.
