In 1958 a lot of artists and composers and other people who wanted to do beautiful things began to look at the world around them in a new way. When they saw that, it turned their minds on. They began to ask questions like: "Why does everything I see that's beautiful like cups and kisses have to be made into just a part of something fancier and bigger? Why can't I just use it for its own sake? When they asked questions like that, they were inventing Fluxus.
They did "concerts" of everyday living; and they gave exhibitions of what they found, where they shared the things that they liked best with whoever would come. Everything was itself, it wasn't part of something bigger and fancier.
These people were: In America George Brecht, Dick Higgins, La Monte Young, Jackson MacLow , Nam June Paik. In Germany Wolf Vostell, Ben Patterson and Emmett Williams, and plenty of others.

In my opinion Fluxus had a life of its own, apart from the people in it. It is simple things, taken for themselves and not just as part of bigger things. It is something that many of us must do, at least part of the time. It is inside of us, it is part of how we are. It isn't just a bunch of things and dramas but is part of how we live. It might be more than words.

Performance

In class each one of us had to take a piece of paper with a line on it and copy it on an eight inch square, keeping the same orientation that it had originally. After made the copies, we placed them on the wall three squares per line, top to bottom, and right to left. After repeating the same process several times, the final composition turned out very interesting.

As a result, the individual different pieces were connected to each other creating a very well organized and geometric composition. In addition, when the activity was over I realized that this is a very creative technique of working with simple shapes; not only because it has a lot of potential regarding the compositional matter, but also the final piece after the activity is performed is always different.

Changing the Perception of Space

The experience required to put a mirror of about 8x4 inches in from of your eyes and walk watching the reflection of the ceiling instead than the ground. What happened is that even though you kind of know how your environment looks like, you experience being in another type of space that is the result of the changes in what you know and what you see.
