Fluxus

Fluxus means "to flow" in Latin. In the 1960s, artists, designers, composers networked with each other. They were able to blend their different artistic skills together. 


It is said that John Cage's music, like 4'33", was where fluxus first appeared. George Maciunas recognized and was influenced by this piece and so he organized Fluxus... there first even took place in 1961 in NYC. A year later, they had their first in Europe. 


There was a do it yourself air to Fluxus and they definitely encouraged that. Simplicity was their theme and was really influenced by Dada's values. 


Some well-known Fluxus artists are Yoko Ono, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and Nam June Paik.
