Dick Higgins (15 March 1938 ā 25 October 1998) was an American artist, composer, art theorist, poet, publisher, printmaker, and a co-founder of the Fluxus international artistic movement (and community).[1] Inspired by John Cage, Higgins was an early pioneer of electronic correspondence.[2] Higgins coined the word intermedia[3][4] to describe his artistic activities, defining it in a 1965 essay by the same name, published in the first number of the Something Else Newsletter. His most notable audio contributions include Danger Music scores and the Intermedia concept to describe the ineffable inter-disciplinary activities that became prevalent in the 1960s.[5]
