-Kaprow wants to decrease the function of the observer and even getting rid of the audience all together which would leave only the artist as the primary force in performance
1965 - at Carnegie Hall Yoko Ono performed her "Cut Piece" in which she invited the audience to come up and take scissors to cut a piece of clothing off of her body as she sat there on the stage floor
-Myrog Krueger's "responsive environments" was released which was a work of new media technology
-Dick Higgins coins the term Fluxus to describe this "intermedia" work which was seen by some as threatening as is threatened art forms such as opera while others welcomed this change.
