Today we celebrate a most important birthday. 17 January is when Art was born when someone dropped a sponge into a bucket of water — 1,000,051 years ago. All according to Fluxus artist Robert Fillion in 1963.

Today this event seems more celebrated in music than my preferred media, and on the website of Sveriges Radio (http://sverigesradio.se/sida/default.aspx?programid=3676) you can link to many European events.

Happy birthday!
