Fluxus

Fluxus concepts were brought to people attention in the 1950's by John Cage's "experimental music". Cage's works of art later influenced George Maciunas who is known for naming and organizing Fluxus.

Dick Higgins was the man who recognized Fluxus as an actual movement in New York in the 1960s (was later spread to Japan). He also coined the word intermedia which means "between the media". The motifs of Fluxus art are to combined art principles and values while basing the art off of scientific, philosophical, or sociological ideas.  Fluxus artists today try to uproot social, political, and asthetic perceptions through their art.

Important artists that furthered the movement of fluxus were:  Charlotte Mooran, Yoko Ono, Joseph Beuys
