Medium / Plastic box, 64 printed playing cards
Along with the idea of ‘Fluxkit’ that George Maciunas conceived in 1964, Fluxus artists produced multiple editions of kits encompassing a selection of miscellaneous objects and sheets of paper as graphic scores for the user to read or manipulate as with interactive games. The kits were packed together in a small attaché case for sale, which was first advertised in the fourth Fluxus newspaper, fLuxus cc fiVeThReE that also contained Nam June Paik’s essay, Afterlude to the Exposition of Experimental Television. This kit is George Brecht’s Deck, A Fluxgame and inside are 64 playing cards, and their fronts have each different images printed on them, and their backs all have the same black and white image that looks like hair. There are no numbers or letters on the cards, no prescribed instructions, so participants, alone or together, have to create rules by imagination while playing the game.
