fluxus

I have been trying to understand the concept of fluxus. I’ve gone to Wiki, read some of the history and I still don’t have a concrete grasp. It’s no big deal, I’m not the sharpest puppy in the kennel. I did note however, that some people claim that fluxus died in 1978. Does this mean that people who do fluxus now are (OMG!) zombies? “I’m a superhero” will be so pleased if that is the case...

Comment by Ruud Janssen on November 15, 2011 at 6:13pm: Some of the original founders of Fluxus still are alive. The chairman died who named it all Fluxus, but that didn't cause fluxus to die. The ones who got a hold of the collection of Maciunas off course don't want the collection to grow since then the price of the first collection goes down. It is a simple business principle. But the business principle of the new generation (including the old and left alive generation) is another one: they still produce art.

So, the zombie principle doesn't follow through (sorry Theo and Superhero).
