No wonder!

I have been wondering why art history is defined with such stages. Where are the artists that define the 'now'? Do they shun the pompous attitude of those who claim they've found a definition of a time period and proceed to create in the name of it? I swear they're just hiding on top of a skyscraper or somfin', drinking and laughing at the rat race below. While painting on a wall of course. Or mixing some music on the tables.

Fluxus
  1. Fluxus is an attitude. It is not a movement or a style.
  2. Fluxus is intermedia. Fluxus creators like 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.
