 Viewing artwork is an experience, and experience is a messy thing. It doesn't take place in a vacuum. Typical galleries will strive to sterilize viewer experience, using elements such as stationary white walls, stolid right angles, and fixed overhead lighting. Instead, the Flux Gallery of Now embraces the dynamism of context. It is the perfect place for a groundbreaking foray into art appreciation. It is a place where the context is ever-changing. It is my used '93 Honda Accord. From moment to moment, the surroundings are in flux, the lighting is in flux, the velocity and direction of the car's motion are in flux; one looks to the oncoming road for a peek of what what one's future viewing experience might be. Context becomes a living, breathing animal, as alive as the artwork itself. Nevermind that the artwork is a bunch of post-it note drawings stuck to my dashboard. The experience is everything.
