Future Fluxus

The postulation of the unity between art and life, as called for by Fluxus, surely is an extreme example of transgression. 50 years on from the birth of “intermedia” as an art term, which like a viral web spread into fine arts, music, literature, architecture, city planning and design, Andreas Leo Findeisen and Markus Zimmermann will ask the question of today’s new forms of Fluxus, its ability to change, with the “Future Fluxus” project. In lectures, discussions and performances, the past will be examined and the founding generation interviewed in order to put the future of current artistic and political practices in the zeitgeist of Facebook and Wikileaks up for discussion. With the “Icelandic Fluxus Museum for Free Thoughts - A Global Theatre with Global Participation”, the project will continue the conceptual strands of 2010’s “Iceland Hits Danube”, examining the Fluxists’ historical connections with current forms of network art and activism.
