This study examines the artistic movements that influenced the formation of the Fluxus movement, with a particular focus on John Cage. The primary reason for emphasizing Cage in this research is the alignment of his experimental artistic approach with the aesthetic and conceptual foundations of Fluxus, as well as the transformative impact of his Experimental Composition class (1957–1959) on artists who later played key roles in the movement's development. Additionally, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of the emergence of Fluxus and its artistic philosophy, exploring how fundamental principles such as collective production, non-commercial artistic practice, and audience participation have been reinterpreted by contemporary artists. In this context, the research evaluates the evolution of Fluxus' influence on contemporary art. The conclusion section examines contemporary artistic performances associated with Fluxus and offers insights into the movement’s relevance within present-day artistic practices.
