Biography
Dick Higgins was born in Cambridge, England in 1939 and died in Quebec in 1998. He was a Fluxus artist who studied with John Cage and Henry Cowell (1958-1959), and co-founded Happenings in 1958. He is credited with coining the phrase intermedia to describe his particular approach to artmaking that included (but is not limited to) his visual, musical and literary efforts. He was a theorist, poet, composer, performance artist, printmaker, filmaker, and book publisher. Most notably, Higgins founded Something Else Press (1963-1974), operated the Something Else Gallery (1966-1969) and founded Unpublished Editions (Printed Editions) in 1972.

Notations / Cage, John, editor ; Fernbach-Flarscheim C ; Filliou R ; Friedman K ; Hansen A ; Higgins D ; Johnson R ; Kaprow A ; Knizak M ; Knowles A ; MacLow J ; Ono Y ; Roth D ; Rothenberg J ; Ruhm G ; Satie E ; Schneemann C ; Williams E ; Young L., 1969
This book illustrates a collection of 255 music manuscripts whose selection by Cage was determined by circumstances. The text was the result of I-Ching chance operations which determined how many words were to be written by or about the 269 composers. Not only the number of words and the author, but the typography too - letter size, intensity and typeface - were all determined by chance operations. Alison Knowles served as co-editor and also designed the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
