About Fluxus Event Score (1962)

Fluxus event scores reduced art to a single typewritten instruction on a white index card. George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, George Brecht, and dozens of international artists proved that a sentence — "Light a match. Watch it until it goes out." — could carry the full weight of an artwork.

This design system channels that radical austerity: monospaced Courier on white card stock, hairline rules, generous margins, and almost no color beyond black type and a flash of Fluxus red.
