George Brecht - Water yams
This project I examine within my disseration it represents the fluxus ambiouns of exploring new and intresting forms it also explores the idea of events, George uses evens to bring awareness to everyday life and alow anyone to become a performer through doing these everyday activitys. This got me thinking about how this would look in a modern context what are some of the simply pleasures in todays world?
maxsiedentopf is a perfect example of the fluxus ethos being reappropiated to fit within the context of modern day life. His use of wit and humour reflects the energy of fluxus and his use of instructions which could be seen as a reference of george brechts water yams. His project is also great inspiration for my own, he has taken the form of intructions and placed them within gifs.

Luke Suggested looking into online programs which are created to replace the graphic designer such as website creators - This feed back led to exploring logo designers to complelty eradicate the need the graphic designer in the spirit of fluxus!
