Η κατεξοχήν ουσία του fluxus είναι η ρευστότητά του.

Και -τι τύχη!- για μια ακόμη φορά αποδεικνύεται ότι, όσο όλα είναι ρευστά, η δημιουργικότητα ρέει ελεύθερη. Μπορεί να πήγαν όλα πολύ στραβά το τελευταίο διάστημα, μπορεί να φυλακίστηκε η κοινωνική μας ζωή για να επιζήσει η ανθρώπινη υγεία εν γένει, μπορεί να έκλεισαν οι χώροι πολιτισμού και καλλιτεχνικής επικοινωνίας με δυσοίωνες προοπτικές, αλλά ουσιαστικά η τέχνη ποτέ δε μένει άφωνη ή άπραγη. Συνεχίζει να ανθίζει, μέσα από άλλες ρευστές διόδους ανάπτυξης και δημιουργικότητας, μέσα από άλλα μέσα ορατότητάς της, εκπορεύεται μέσα από την πιο βαθιά ανθρώπινη ανάγκη, αυτήν της έκφρασης, της βαθιάς επικοινωνίας. Και, έτσι, καλλιτέχνες από όλον τον κόσμο ανταποκρίθηκαν σε ένα κάλεσμα παραδοσιακά ταχυδρομικό (και εξαρχής περιορισμένο τεχνικά), για να δημιουργηθεί ωστόσο ένα νέο δίκτυο μοναδικό και δυναμικό. Το οποίο φέρει χαρακτηριστικά μιας απολύτως σύγχρονης τεχνολογικής εξέλιξης και φόρμας, ενός επικοινωνιακού μοιράσματος που δεν έχει αισθητικά, χρονικά, γεωγραφικά όρια και εντέλει δίνει πολλές και ελπιδοφόρες απαντήσεις σε ζητήματα εκφραστικής ελευθερίας. Χιούμορ, σάτιρα, το επίκαιρο ως δημιουργική αφορμή, μια άυλη οπτική στον κόσμο, επιτάχυνση επικοινωνιακών τρόπων, τρέλα και ακόμη περισσότερη τρέλα κι ακόμη πιο έντονη αγάπη για τη ζωή: όλα αυτά και άλλα τόσα, συνέθεσαν ένα κολάζ εμπειριών, έργων και καλλιτεχνικών οπτικών που -τι άλλο;- είναι απολύτως fluxus σε όλα του.

The core of the fluxus concept is its fluidity.

And -what a luck!- once again it turns out that, as long as everything is fluid, creativity flows freely. Everything may have gone wrong lately, our social life may have been somehow imprisoned in order to protect human life and health; spaces of cultural, artistic creativity and communication may have closed under ominous prospects, but in fact art never remains silent or inactive. It continues to flourish, through other fluid channels of development and creativity, through other means of visibility, because it emerges through the deepest human need, that of expression, of sincere communication. This way, somehow artists from all over the world responded to a call traditionally based on the post and succeeded to create a peculiar network, unique in its dynamic; it is a network characterized by technological development and form, by a communication width with no aesthetic, temporal, geographical boundaries, revealing several truly hopeful answers regarding the critical issues of freedom of expression. Humor, satire, crazy year 2020 as a creative motive, an intangible worldview, the acceleration of communication, madness (and even more madness!) and an intense love for life: all this and so much more, composed this rich collage of experiences, works and artistic perspectives that is absolutely -what else?- super fluxus.
