The Fluxus Artists.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the Fluxus movement is Yoko Ono. The second thing that comes to mind, however, is the phrase "change". I'll be honest in saying that I wasn't particularly fond of the collective group of works produced by the Fluxus artists, but I'll admit they certainly had a lot of influence over future generations of artists, including myself. Their ground-breaking ideas were bold and inventive, their methods were strange and ambiguous, but their general purpose was the main attraction for the change that occurred in the art world following their creation. The idea that art can continually shock and redefine society is a powerful message to conceive and enforce. The Fluxus movement, while not particularly as active today, set the stage for modern art to evolve into many different mediums and collaborate in many different ways. This evolution was and still is crutial to the art world and society as a whole, to reinvent and make better the odd world we live in.
