My Contribution Within our group we assigned roles allowing each member to develop a bigger insight into their topic.We then decided to visually communicate the research by designing infograpghics. Persoanally I was assigned to look into artists who have been inspired by Fluxus and have produced work relating to this manifesto. I came across several practioners from various countries, however Greoge Brecht and Dick Higgins were the most activity involved in developing the Fluxus idea. I research 3 main artists and used the work to influence my infographics. Our decision to use this medium to communicate acquired from the main characteristic of Fluxus which is simplicity and specificity.

Fluxus Manifesto “Promote a revolutionary flood and tide in art, promote living-art, anti-art” Our initial brief was to design a PechaKucha presentation on the Fluxus Manifesto. As our group was unfamiliar with this particular manifesto we individually conducted research that would enable us to explore its meaning and practices. We found that Fluxus was recognized as a way of living rather than a set of rules. Fluxus artists were concerned in findind something “significant in the insignificant”. Thus introducing Intermedia (the collaboration of media).
