Flux Rain Machine
New York City, USA: Fluxus, 1965
12 x 9.5 x 2.5 cm.
Edition size unknown
Produced around the same time as Hans Haacke’s Condensation Cube (see below), Flux Rain Machine functions similarly: water sealed inside the plastic box condenses to form droplets. Versions advertised in Fluxus newsletters are more likely to have been made-to-order larger versions, even closer in design to Haacke's, given their price range of between $50 and $200.
The label - as with all Fluxus editions - is designed by George Maciunas (see above). Both examples are from the MoMA collection in NYC.
