FLUXUS

FLUXUS was started by a man named George Maciunas. This term stands for a network of artists who blended different means of art together. FLUXUS means "to flow" and that is what these artists strived for. In the early days of the movement John Cage explored music. With different compositions he created art. Other artists chose to get visual and create video art as well as short performance pieces. In my opinion this was a good move in art. By combining different elements they create something new and fresh. These new creations have so much more power than traditional art and music, because with the combination they present new ideas - they represent the feelings and the opinions of the individuals creating it. This is something that hadn't been done in the past. And, it was the door swinging open for talented people to combine their means and basically go crazy with the artwork presented.
