Descriptions Description The "Disappearing Music for Face" flipbook was produced by Maciunas using stills from the fluxfilm of the same name. The film is of a smile (Yoko Ono) filmed (by Peter Moore) with a high-speed camera. When projected at normal speed, the effect is of extreme slow-motion. Maciunas had hoped to produce a number of flipbook versions of Fluxfilms, but only this and Dick Higgins's "Invocation of Canyons and Boulders" were made. See also George Brecht's flipbook "Nutbone: A Yamfest Movie", included in "Flux Year Box 2" (M26448.2).
