In this interview Eric Andersen, a Danish artist associated with Fluxus, discusses his approach to intermedia art and the activation of historical Fluxus works in contemporary contexts. Andersen emphasizes the importance of constant change and confusion in art, rejecting the notion of fixed identities for artworks. He explains why he prefers the term “intermedia” over “Fluxus,” highlighting the fluid nature of his work that exists between traditional media boundaries. Andersen’s Opus series exemplifies his philosophy, using numerical titles that defy chronological sequencing and invite diverse interpretations. He advocates for audience participation and the reimagining of historical works in new contexts, as demonstrated by his 1966 artificial intelligence piece, later transformed into a choral work. The artist challenges conventional ideas of conservation, favoring reinterpretation and evolution over maintaining original forms.
