Imaginary Landscape No. 4 for Twelve Radios
John Cage
New York, 1951
Imaginary Landscape No. 4 is scored for manipulate short-wave (or AM) radios. The score is precise in its timings, and in specifying the volume and tuning settings for each of the 12 radios. What he could not specify, and had no desire to, were the actual sounds to be produced. Because the sounds are created from the ether, from whatever radio signals happen to be picked up in that particular place and that particular time, the piece will sound different each and every time it is performed. The general character will remain the same however: snatches of music and speech, along with static and other noises.

2- Stage Transfer Drawing ( Advancing to a Future State)
Dennis Oppenheim, 1971-1972
A parent draws a picture on child's back. And child imitates that picture by only his sense of touch of back. Because child is parent offspring, and they share similar biological ingredients, parent's back (as surface) can be seen as a mature version of child's own...in a sense, he contacts his own future state.
