Danger Music for Dick Higgins
Dick Higgins was an artist who framed the art of Fluxus, which saw art as a media of form that mixes various artistic genres with the concept of the intermedia. His Danger Music series of the early 1960s is based on the idea that scores could endanger their performers or the audience who experience the performance. Paik composed a score that wrote, “creep into the vagina of a living whale,” in response to Higgins’s scores.
