Fluxus

Fluxus is another art movement within the Avant garde era. It appeared during the during the 1960s.
This style to me seemed awfully similar to the futurist movement in conducting off scale art forms in making abstractions, scandals, and bold intuitive motives outside what we consider normal art. 




(The Piano hammered with nails  was indeed an interesting movie clip we saw in class. Hammering nails to make the piano stop working, yet the hammers and nails being punched into the piano keys made unique sounds of their own. It was pretty cool. I wouldn't do it to my piano though. To valuable for playing ) 


Overall the Fluxus style is primary a mix of those ideals as well from movements like Dada and Bauhaus. Fluxus uses more math and geometry to express their art techniques. They also influence idealism of philosophy, psychology,and sociology.


Some of their sculpture art can also be considered a revolution to normal objects and applications. By making a collage of mixed objects together, it can be applied that the Fluxus art style can further try to enhance the quality of a blended object for an imaginary use.



(The table tennis racks mixed with tin cans added a new effect for a futuristic sport)


While looking around for information and pictures to add to the blog. I encountered a museum of Fluxus art donated by people across the country. Some of it is weird and crude but some as well looks pretty cool. The site is at:   http://www.fluxmuseum.org/
