# Dada × Fluxus — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=dada+fluxus
# Dada carries the structure. Fluxus appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Dada (Style, 1916–1920s) and its accent from Fluxus (Style, early 1960s–late 1970s). Structural cues: Rotated type; Fragments of sound; Collisions of scale; Unbalanced margins. Accent cues, used sparingly: Event scores; Boxes and multiples; Everyday actions; Anti-art humor. Composition: Keep one reading path; rotate and sever the rest. Type and lettering: Collide weights, directions and cases in one plane. Let one material quality come from the second style: Found objects, paper, wooden boxes, cheap printing, no signature or scarcity.. Mood: Rebellion, Play, Exhilaration, Intimacy. Color: build on #efe6d0, #d7362f, #161513 with a single accent drawn from #ece6d7, #c43d31, #22201d. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Avant-garde, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Dada: Not decorative messiness. Decide which authority or custom you are objecting to.
# - Fluxus: Imitating random instructions and plain boxes settles nothing about ownership, authority and the audience's role, and a score framed on the wall without ever being performed loses the premise of action and participation.
