    Fluxus Long long ago, back when the world was young_ that is,

    sometime around the year 1958__ a lot of artists and


    1962-1978 composers and other people who wanted to do beautiful
    things began to look at the world around them in a new
    way (for them).
    They said: "Hey!__coffee cups can be more beautiful that
    fancy sculptures. A kiss in the morning can be more
    dramatic than a drama by Mr. Fancypants. The sloshing of
    my foot in my wet boot sounds more beautiful than fancy
    organ music."

    And when they saw that, it turned their minds on. And they
    began to ask questions. One question was: "Why does
    everything I see that's beautiful like cups and kisses and
    sloshing feet have to be made into just a part of something
    fancier and bigger? Why can't I just use it for its own
    sake?"

    When they asked questions like that, they were inventing


    Fluxus.
    Fluxus

    • George Maciunas was the (non) movement's founder and the one who named
    the group/movement "Fluxus" The name derived from the Latin word that
    denotes a continuous passing or flowing, suggests the fluidity between media
    that marks the artistic activity of the period. This marked a continuation of the
    blurring and dissolution of conventional forms of art that had .begun early in
    the century with such movements as Futurism, Dada, and Russian
    Constructivism and that had reemerged at mid-century in a diversity of
    movements, groups, chance operations, Happenings, object music, concept art,
    and Fluxus.

    A small wooden box with racks of test


    tubes holds the DNA for land, air, and
    sea animals, the DNA for flora to
    sustain them, and the DNA for a zoo
    keeper. A tribute to Fluxus.
    Nam June Paik
    Paik was a pioneer in early video art. His work was
    sculptural, highly technical and commented on our
    attraction and obsession with media.
    Nam June Paik influence can be seen in contemporary electronic
    art like Alan Rath’s remarkable computer constructions.
