An international, interdisciplinary art network that emerged in the early 1960s across 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 distills the Fluxus ethos of art as lived experience—Yoko Ono, whose 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.
