The Fluxus gang in the early 1960s ran roughshod over the traditional New York City art scene. With an emphasis on random, spontaneous, found, home made and ready made, they worked to blur the lines between art and audience, perception and experience. They were art revolutionaries -- more constructive than the Dadaists -- but committed to a violent revolution of conventional wisdom.
Kind of like the teabaggers.
