FLuxus

Originating in Germany, "fluxus" was chosen since it's cognates
in many languages means "change". As an avante gaurde movement,
George Maciunas coined the term in
a talk given in 1961 at the Gallery A/G in New York.

Primary were the primal and libidinal displays of energy, rather
than seeking popular support fluxus attempted to shock the
petite bourgeous from their complacent sleep of lethargy. That
this movement co-incided with the same period as Los Interiorists
in Mexico, as other world-wide movements is probably
*not* a coincidence. Dissonance and cacophny were often
a feature, making fluxus events similar to happenings.
