An international, interdisciplinary art network that emerged in the early 1960s across [[New York|New York City]], [[Germany]], and [[Japan]], blurring boundaries between art, music, and everyday life through performances, happenings, and mail art. Key figures include [[George Maciunas]]—whose [[One Year - George Maciunas (1973)|One Year]] distills the Fluxus ethos of art as lived experience—[[Yoko Ono]], whose [[Painting to Be Stepped On - Yoko Ono (1960)|Painting to Be Stepped On]] invites radical audience participation, [[Nam June Paik]], and [[Joseph Beuys]]. It drew heavily on the anti-art spirit of [[Dada]] and [[John Cage]]'s experimental music, embracing humor, simplicity, and the democratization of art.
