Fluxus -- like us?
2.17.2007
Fluxus is a relatively modern creative movement I won't even attempt to describe. You can find more information about it here here and here. Though it deliberately eschews definition so as to accommodate cultural stimuli, some principles are as follows:
1. Fluxus is an attitude. It is not a movement or a style.Also ...
2. Fluxus is intermedia. Fluxus creators like to to see what happens when different media intersect.
3. Fluxus creators like to mix things up. They use found and everyday objects, sounds, images, and texts to create new combinations of objects, sounds, images, and texts.
4. Fluxus should be simple. The art is small, the texts are short, and the performances are brief.
5. Fluxus should be fun. If it isn't fun, it isn't Fluxus.
globalism,A common question re: Fluxus is its status / vitality / relevance. Is Fluxus dead? Is it alive? And it seems, like the Dadaists before them, isn't that question the whole point?
