Cultural Writing. Intermedia Poetics. This classic of alternative art theory is available again in its second edition. Dick Higgins was co-founder of Happenings and later Fluxus. He was active in music, studying with John Cage and Henry Cowell and is the author of many books of poetry including BUSTER KEATON ENTERS INTO PARADISE (Left Hand) and BOOK ABOUT LOVE AND DEATH (Something Else). From his early (1964) essay on "Intermedia," which gave the term to the language, up through his influential essay on the concept of an "allusive referential," the impulse of his work was to describe rather than to perscribe. These essays will continue to offer tools for rising generations of artists, writers and critics, reconvening art thinking beyond the border-guarded zones of traditional scholarship. A DIALECTIC OF CENTURIES is a book to work with in the new century.

A dialectic of centuries
Ten years ago this would have been an invaluable reference - now, it's totally superceded by the internet. It's still an impressive collection of trivia, interviews, and ancillary fiction, though.
The short story is astonishingly unmemorable (which may have been the point - it's supposed to be a story of a totally average Herald, and I suppose it's a handy fill-your-name-in-here tool for dreaming about being Chosen) but the interviews, although not earthshaking, are neat, and the extensive concordance is the sort of thing I'd have happily memorized were I younger and had a shorter to-read list.
The funniest bit in the whole volume is the page or two on what websites to visit - good Lord, it wasn't published that long ago and it reads like utter ancient history. (This is a bit of a problem with the whole thing, really, since several more books have been written and it's hardly complete at this point.)
