Fluxus_Vibe: an evening of human / machine collaboration & performance
Details
Fluxus_Vibe is a live experiment in human–machine creativity — an evening where intuition meets algorithm and performance becomes code. Drawing inspiration from classic Fluxus event scores by artists such as Yoko Ono, George Brecht, and Alison Knowles, participants transform simple instructions—“Light a match,” “Make rain where there is none,” “Scream.”—into generative performances of light, sound, and motion.
Born in the 1960s, Fluxus blurred the boundary between art and life, turning everyday actions into acts of imagination. Its humor, absurdity, and openness anticipated the logic of generative AI — systems that evolve through iteration, randomness, and play.
Guided by the Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab, FluxusVibe extends this lineage through vibe coding — a participatory design practice that fuses emotion, intuition, and system logic. The evening invites collective authorship, where humans and machines co-create in real time, producing moments that are unpredictable, emergent, and alive. Both homage and experiment, FluxusVibe explores what creativity can become when the boundaries between performer, participant, and algorithm dissolve.
