The Fluxus artistic philosophy has been defined as a synthesis of four key factors that define the majority of Fluxus work:

1. Fluxus is an attitude. It is not a movement or a style.^[16]
2. Fluxus is intermedia.^[17] Fluxus creators like to see what happens when different media intersect. They use found and everyday objects, sounds, images, and texts to create new combinations of objects, sounds, images, and texts.
3. Fluxus works are simple. The art is small, the texts are short, and the performances are brief.
4. Fluxus is fun. Humour has always been an important element in Fluxus.

Christina Noelle is a 20-year-old conceptual artist deep in the pursuit of her BFA in studio art at Mills College. She employs the mediums of photography, videography, and performance. In her work, these three mediums rarely exist independently from one another. Instead, they inform one another and are often intersecting.

Her past work touched upon themes such as women’s portrayal in the media, indoctrination, transience, and domesticity. Her recent works find their point of intersection at the idea of the archive. She not only invents and creates her own archives, but also draws upon existing ones: chipping away at them, building them up, re-contextualizing them, satirizing them.

Christina values the ambiguity of perspective. With her work, she strives to incite analysis and questioning in her viewers. After all, “all living art will be irrational, primitive, complex: it will speak a secret language and leave behind documents not of edification but of paradox” (Hugo Ball).

I am thoroughly, painfully embarrassed by the 16-year-old version of myself. Thanks, facebook timeline! Better figure out how delete all the dashboard confessional lyrics statuses before this shit goes public. (And in a few years, facebook will remind me of this status, and I just might be embarrassed by it. Oh, the cycle.)
