Now go be the cat.
Founded in the 1960s by George Maciunas, Fluxus was an international network of artists, composers, and designers who believed that art should be simple, playful, and integrated into everyday life. They rejected the expensive, monumental art objects of the New York gallery scene in favor of event scores —short, text-based instructions that anyone could perform. FE SUS NEKO SCRIPT FLUXUS
The cat in Fluxus art is not arbitrary. Fluxus artists were obsessed with animals as unpredictable co-performers. Nam June Paik’s Robot K-456 once walked with a live cat. More directly, the idea of a "script for a cat" is inherently absurdist because cats refuse to follow scripts. Now go be the cat

"Sus" introduces a crack in the facade of the script. It warns the reader that nothing is as it seems. Neko (猫) is the Japanese word for cat. In anime and internet subcultures, nekos are humans with cat ears and tails—liminal beings between domestic animal and sentient person.
