The Futurist art movement was important for the development of the noise aesthetic, as was the Dada art movement ( a prime example being the Antisymphony concert performed on April 30, 1919 in Berlin ), and later the Surrealist and Fluxus art movements, specifically the Fluxus artists Joe Jones, Yasunao Tone, George Brecht, Robert Watts, Wolf Vostell, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Walter De Maria's Ocean Music, Milan Knížák's Broken Music Composition, early LaMonte Young and Takehisa Kosugi.

As part of a touring exhibition organized by Dartmouth College, Maciunas ’ work was most recently featured in “ Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life ” at New York University ’ s Grey Gallery in fall 2011 and University of Michigan ’ s Museum of Art in spring 2012.

Maciunas first publically coined the term Fluxus ( meaning ' to flow ') in a ' brochure prospectus ' that he distributed to the audience at a festival he had organized, called Aprés Cage ; Kleinen Sommerfest ( After Cage ; a Small Summer Festival ), in Wuppertal, West Germany, June 9, 1962.

The picketing of Originale marked the high point of Maciunas ' agit prop approach, an approach that estranged many of Fluxus ' early proponents ; Jackson Mac Low had resigned immediately after hearing ' antisocial ' plans laid in April 1963, such as breaking down trucks under the Hudson River Brecht threatened to quit on the same issue, and then left New York in the spring of 1965.

Since returning to Japan in 1961, Yoko Ono had been recommending colleagues look Maciunas up if they moved to New York ; by the time she had returned, in early 1965, Hi Red Center, Shigeko Kubota, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi and Ay-O had all started to make work for Fluxus, often of a contemplative nature.

From 1994 till 2001 he has conducted interviews with Fluxus and mail artists in different communication forms ; the results have been published in booklets and on the internet since 1996.

Many of the Fluxus editions share characteristics with both ; George Brecht's Water Yam ( 1963 ), for instance, involves a series of scores collected in a box, whilst similar scores are collected together in a bound book in Yoko Ono's Grapefruit ( 1964 ).

One presenter, Fluxus performance artist and longtime New Paltz resident Carolee Schneemann, was best known for Interior Scroll ( 1975 ), a piece that culminated in her unrolling a scroll from her vagina and reading it to the audience ; at the seminar, Schneemann exhibited abstract photographs of her vagina as part of Vulva's Morphia ( 1995 ), " a visceral sequence of photographs and text in which a Vulvic personification presents an ironic analysis juxtaposing slides and text to undermine Lacanian semiotics, gender issues, Marxism, the male art establishment, religious and cultural taboos.

Adrian Searle, art critic for the Guardian, put it succinctly in a review of a Fluxus exhibition ;

The view that his death liberated Fluxus is also widespread ;

She has twin daughters: Jessica Higgins, a New York-based intermedia artist closely associated with seminal curator Lance Fung, late Fluxus gallerist Emily Harvey, The Artists Museum's Construction In Process and having performed and collaborated as a youth in original Fluxus related events ; and Hannah Higgins, a writer and art historian residing in Chicago, Illinois.

The Hyperclan members are known as Protex, Fluxus, A-Mortal, Züm, Primaid, Tronix, Armek, and Zenturion, using the array of natural Martian powers to give each " hero " a seemingly different set of abilities ; for example, Züm was a speedster, Armek was a massive armored figure with superhuman strength and could change color, and Fluxus was a shapeshifter.

The movement influenced later styles like the avant-garde and downtown music movements, and groups including surrealism, Nouveau réalisme, pop art and Fluxus.

His publication and design of the classic audio-visual magazines Cinquième Saison and OU between 1958 and 1974, each issue containing recordings as well as texts, images, screenprints and multiples, brought together international contemporary writers and artists such as members of Lettrisme and Fluxus, Jiri Kolar, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Tom Phillips, Brion Gysin, William S. Burroughs and many others, as well as bringing the work of survivors from earlier generations such as Raoul Hausmann and Marcel Janco to a fresh audience.

In his bold and wide-ranging experiments he can be seen as the grandfather of Pop Art, Happenings, Concept Art, Fluxus, multimedia art and post-modernism.

Intermedia, a term coined by Dick Higgins and meant to convey new art forms along the lines of Fluxus, concrete poetry, found objects, performance art, and computer art.

Fluxus was named and loosely organized in 1962 by George Maciunas ( 1931 – 78 ), a Lithuanian-born American artist.

Fluxus traces its beginnings to John Cage's 1957 to 1959 Experimental Composition classes at the New School for Social Research in New York City.

Cage's students included Fluxus founding members Jackson Mac Low, Al Hansen, George Brecht and Dick Higgins.

Fluxus encouraged a do-it-yourself aesthetic and valued simplicity over complexity.

Like Dada before it, Fluxus included a strong current of anti-commercialism and an anti-art sensibility, disparaging the conventional market-driven art world in favor of an artist-centered creative practice.

Fluxus artists preferred to work with whatever materials were at hand, and either created their own work or collaborated in the creation process with their colleagues.

Andreas Huyssen criticises attempts to claim Fluxus for postmodernism as " either the master-code of postmodernism or the ultimately unrepresentable art movement – as it were, postmodernism's sublime.

" Instead he sees Fluxus as a major Neo-Dadaist phenomena within the avant-garde tradition.

His career as an artist started in the 1960s and his work was influenced by Pop Art, which was becoming popular in Italy in those years, conceptual art, Arte Povera and Fluxus.

On this release Ono explored slightly more conventional psychedelic rock with tracks like " Midsummer New York " and " Mind Train ," in addition to a number of Fluxus experiments.

Ono was a sometime member of Fluxus, a loose association of Dada-inspired avant-garde artists that developed in the early 1960s.

Fluxus founder George Maciunas, a friend of Ono's during the 1960s, admired her work and promoted it with enthusiasm.

Maciunas invited Ono to join the Fluxus group, but she declined because she wanted to remain an independent artist.

Ono was also an experimental filmmaker who made sixteen films between 1964 and 1972, and gained particular renown for a 1966 Fluxus film called simply No. 4, but often referred to as " Bottoms.

Through the remainder of the 1960s and through the 1970s, free improvisation spread across the U. S., Europe and East Asia, entering quickly into a dialogue with Fluxus, happenings, performance art and rock music.

Other precursors to anarcho-punk include avant-garde art and political movements such as Fluxus, Dada, the Beat generation, England's angry young men ( such as Joe Orton ), the surrealism-inspired Situationist International, the May 1968 uprising in Paris, and the CND.

Fluxus — a name taken from a Latin word meaning “ to flow ”— is an international network of artists, composers and designers noted for blending different artistic media and disciplines in the 1960s.
