	Fluxing into the 00's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Fluxus stressed the relationship between art and life, the need for exploration of new media and "intermedia" (a term coined by Dick Higgins), and the role of the artist in breaking down old forms in order to shape a new consciousness and society.
		Fluxus thought, drawing from a range of disciplines and expressing itself through a multiplicity of media, emphasized transformation, indeterminacy, spontaneity, freedom, and playfulness.
		A number of Fluxus websites have been published on the Internet and there is a Fluxlist discussion group which includes Dick Higgins and Ken Friedman exploring not only the currents of Fluxus, but also their application to new electronic media and the Internet.

		Fluxus members avoided any limiting art theories, and spurned pure aesthetic objectives, producing such mixed-media works as found poems, mail art, silent orchestras, and collages of such readily available materials as scavanged posters, newspapers, and other ephemera.
		Fluxus objects and performances are characterized by minimalist but often expansive gestures based in scientific, philosophical, sociological, or other extra-artistic ideas and leavened with burlesque.
		In the '60s, when the Fluxus movement was most active, artists all over the globe worked in concert with a spontaneously generated but carefully maintained Fluxus network.

	Am I or is FLOOXIS far away? - Log illustrated 12 - The boy-girl pink and blue issue - A publication from the Physics ...
		Before the FLUXUS exhibition arrived in Sydney it was preceded by the first signs of flux - that came in the form of a flux that binds or promotes a union, albeit a fictitious one.
		FLUXUS was being pronounced with a degree of authority as "FLOOXIS", perhaps placing it firmly in the mouth of Rene Block, who would have been engaged in long distance phone calls with lecturers of Sydney College of the Arts during the preparations of hosting the touring exhibition.
		Maciunas believed and enforced his belief on FLUXUS members that to maintain its "professional, parasitic and elite status in society, art must appear to be complex, pretentious, profound, serious, intellectual, inspired, skilful, significant and theatrical; it must appear to be valuable as a commodity so as to provide the artist with an income".

		Fluxus was a radical collective of international artists who collaborated in Europe, the USA and Japan during the 1960s and 70s.
		The Fluxus Indian ground sculptures were typically constructed so that the closer you got to Fluxus Indian territory, the larger the symbols became--and, presumably, the greater the anticipation grew of meeting the Fluxus Indians.
		Fluxus was committed to creating a democratic art form in which all things could be art and anyone could be an artist.

	The Brooklyn Rail - Fluxus: To George With Love
		Fluxus pursued performativity for the purposes of spiritual liberation, freedom of speech, and an embrace of idiosyncrasy in an effort to oppose the patterned lifestyle of conformity, which was promoted by national governments as a form of crowd control.
		European Fluxus artist Gustav Metzger, for example, was often excluded from Fluxus festivals because he was interested in incorporating fragments of political news within his work, which threatened to compartmentalize the fluid basis of this movement.
		Fluxus performances sought the exposure of awkwardness within the process of acting: artists hosing each other down on the street; Nam Jun Paik beginning a piano performance which immediately turns into an exchange of objects with the audience; shared meals; artists venturing in a boat up the Hudson River.

	Franklin Furnace Links
		FLUXUS was an international community of artists, architects, designers, and composers described as "the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s." As a laboratory of experimental art, Fluxus was the first locus of intermedia, concept art, events, and video, and a central influence on performance art, arte povera, and mail art.
		Fluxus has been a laboratory characterized by George Maciunas's notion of the "learning machine." The Fluxus research program has been characterized by twelve ideas: globalism, the unity of art and life, intermedia, experimentalism, chance, playfulness, simplicity, implicativeness, exemplativism, specificity, presence in time and musicality.
		Ken Friedman was an active participant in Fluxus, as an artist since 1966, as director of Fluxus West for a decade, and as editor of The Fluxus Reader for Academy Press.

		Fluxus is characterized by its strongly Dadaist attitude, but also takes elements from Zen and Bauhaus ideals, fusing various media and art forms together rather experimentally.
		Fluxus works emphasize the importance of the conceptual element over the visual and often have an air of spontaneous playfulness to them.
		Although the Fluxus movement is no longer as pervasive as it was in the past, its ideals and sensibilities continue to affect the conceptualization and production of art today.

	TEXT ON THE FLUXUS (Ben Vautier)
		Fluxus is an attitude towards art, towards the non-art of anti-art, towards the negation of one's ego,
		Fluxus is the major part of the education as to John Cage, Dadaism and Zen,
		Fluxus is light and has a sense of humor.

		Fluxus artists, loosed from the restrictive boundaries of traditional media, used their experimental spirit to express disdain for the world’s hunger for the next new wonder-product.
		Often, fluxus musicians were untrained, and rarely was the objective of fluxus music to exhibit the technical skill of the musician.
		Fluxus artists created new media by breaking the boundaries between the existing traditional media, always striving to break new ground by revisiting the old, perhaps overlooked ground on which we walk everyday as human beings.

	moticos to mail art: a history
		"Fluxus is more important as an idea and a potential for social change than as a specific group of people or a collection of objects," notes Ken Friedman, one of the group’s most prolific historians and theorists.
		As Smith notes, "the aim of Fluxus throughout the mid- and later 1960s was not only to publish interesting things being done but to create new systems for their distribution." This objective was prevalent throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, leading to such diverse solutions as land art projects in remote desert venues and ephemeral performances.
		Fluxus objects and activities anticipated the development of an international art network that was linked by postal exchange, but the origins of mail art also remain inextricably tied to the work of Ray Johnson and his circle of associates known as the New York Correspondance School.

	Dear Fluxus
		Letting Fluxus die is a terrific and unnecessary shame and I place most of the blame on you (the people to whom this letter is addressed).
		We learned about Fluxus in one way or another and were struck by lightning, had an epiphanyand generally felt we had found a place where we really belonged.
		Fluxus has the potential to be a bigger, more vibrant and creative force in the world today than even the project George Maciunas imagined.

	Life in Fluxus
		Fluxus, in that phase of its history, was much concerned with overcoming the gap between art and life, which was in part inspired by John Cage's decision to widen the range of sounds available for purposes of musical composition.
		A typical Fluxus composition was arrived at by selecting a time--3:15, say--from the railway timetable and considering all the sounds in the railway station for three minutes and fifteen seconds as the piece.
		Ono's relationship to Fluxus is a matter of delicate art-historical analysis, but if she fit in anywhere, it would have been in the world Maciunas created around himself, where the artists and their audience consisted of more or less the same people.

		We've taken the liberty of filling in our diagram with a few of the many of folks from the original 1960s Fluxus projects and festivals, a few of the many projects and people that have been taking Fluxus in new directions, and some of the Fluxus activities outside of the realm of art.
		The Fluxus of 1992 is not the Fluxus of 1962 and if it pretends to be - then it is fake.
		The real Fluxus moves out from its old center into many directions, and the paths are not easy to recognize without lining up new pieces, middle pieces and old pieces together.

		As one of the founders of the Fluxus movement at the beginning of the 1960s, Ono helped identify and define the playful, subversive, visionary sensibility that has undergirded experimentation in all the arts ever since.
		With her Fluxus colleagues Ono has elevated the insubstantial to monumental status, allowing us to contemplate the magic of the ordinary, as well as to comprehend the ordinariness of the seemingly profound.
		This inversion, along with the inventive puckishness of her game-like concepts and activities, make her work endlessly provocative--at once irksome and inviting, loopy and lovely, teasing and teaching us to appreciate the intimate and elusive phenomena that comprise life.

		He coordinated the worldwide artistic activities of the Fluxus collaborators so that the movement continued to be a “new wave”.
		Fluxus deviated between the boundaries of art and non-art and consequently risked being marginalized and, thereby, landing outside of the currently popular Pop-Art scene.
		Maciunas wrote in the brochure “Fluxus” (Its Historical Development and Relationship to Avant-garde Movements) that a “borderline be rationally defined” This limit, which on one side should have the effect of being historically legitimized should also, on the other side, be artistically encouraging.

		Fluxus is about the re-perception of actions, objects or feelings found in everyday life.
		Fluxus took the phenomenon of correspondence art, started by Ray Johnson and the New York Correspondence School as a relatively private exchange of art, and exploded it outward, giving birth to a vast and constantly growing network of mail artists.

		Fluxus-from the Latin for 'flow' or 'change'-was the name given by the movement's principal organizer George Maciunas to a loosely-affiliated, international group of artists in the 1960s and '70s.
		Fluxus remains an active movement today, although with new artists and constantly evolving practices.
		The original Fluxus group worked across a wide range of media, including poetry, music, film, performances, and ephemeral "events," in its efforts to contest the cultural conception of what is "Art" and the prominence of the individual artist.

		Although Germany was its main location, Fluxus was an international avant-garde movement active in major Dutch, English, French, Swedish, and American cities, which promoted artistic experimentation, social and political activism, an often celebrated anarchistic change; its participants were a divergent group of individualists whose most common theme was their delight in spontaneity and humor.
		Fluxus members steered away from limiting art theories, producing such mixed-media works as found poems, mail art, silent orchestras, and collages of such readily available materials as scavenged posters, newspapers, and other ephemera.

		This task was taken on beginning in the 1960s by a group of artists and musicians, many of whom were associated with the Fluxus movement.
		Fluxus rejected institutional art, was decidedly anti-academic, and against commercialized culture.
		Fluxus events and compositions were meant to be unpretentious "art-amusement" based on a "fusion of "Spike Jones, vaudeville, gags, children's games, and Marcel Duchamp."[31] Artists were not to have a professional status in society and their works were meant to be accessible to everyone.

		though not exactly a roll call of giants the fluxus movement does call some heavies it’s own (beuys being the most revered, yoko ono probably the most visible).
		In Fluxus there has never been any attempt to agree on aims or methods; individuals with something unnameable in common have simply naturally coalesced to publish and perform their work.
		perhaps fluxus, beautiful in it’s intimate moments, when it was an innocent young creature with dewey lips and soft skin, changed once history grabbed hold of it and began the rough process of fitting it into a square hole.

		Incorporating images, soumds, and movements that did not overtly rely on the artist's expressive gesture offered an exit from what artists viewed as mannered stylization and self-conscious emotionality in the art of their predecessors.
		Fluxus artists favored a conceptual rigor and attentiveness to "insignificant" phenomena: a light going on and off, or a line of performers shuffling across the floor.
		For example, in her early Fluxus film, No.1 (Match) (1966), the single gesture of lighting a match became a metaphor for the light of the projector and the illumination of its subject.

		That depends on who is asking, because Fluxus surely answers (preferably to its own questions) that Fluxus has been the most important art movement for nearly three decades now.
		The link between Artware and Fluxus derives from their common roots: Dating back to the Dada movement, which began in 1916, Fluxus continued the tradition of breaking with the status quo.
		For both Beuys and Maciunas, the connotations of the word Fluxus referred to the fluidity between media, and by extension, between art and life.

		The ease with which the movement began to splinter as a result of such an insignificant set of circumstances points to an observation made by George Brecht and several other artists associated with Fluxus.
		Brecht warned that it may be a mistake to consider Fluxus a movement since it encompassed an extremely wide variety of artistic personalities and activities.[35] Maciunas's influence had kept the movement together and when his leadership began to falter, Fluxus began to fall apart.
		Fluxus continued until the late 1970s and many agree that with Maciunas's death in 1979 the movement also perished.
