Throughout its history Fylkingen has been known to be a driving force in the Swedish art scene to introduce and promote yet-to-be-established art forms, the examples of which include the music of Bartok, the video works of Nam June Paik, Electro-Acoustic music during the '50s as well as the New Media performance of Stelarc in recent years. Our members are leading composers, musicians, dancers, performance artists and visual artists in Sweden. For more information on Fylkingen, please visit www.hz-journal.org/n4/hultberg.html.
