*Fluxus artist Henry Flynt’s term for activity that is neither work nor leisure … ‘Consider all of your doings, what you already do. Exclude the gratifying of physiological needs, physically harmful activities, and competitive activities. Concentrate on spontaneous self-amusement or play. That, is concentrate on everything you do because you like it, because you just like it as you do it.’ (1968)
