Altermodernity, Supermodernity, Hypermodernity. Nicholas Bourriaud posits art within a "society of the spectical," as a reaction against the standarisation of modernism, and post-modernism's fever to assimilate with the Other. He claims that the conception of artistic practice is contained within the transivity of form, that the 'forever unfinished discursiveness' in which dissemination is contained, has created an 'Altermodernity'. Interestingly our current propensity for inter-human relations on the surface perhaps suggests a new fabric of ideas / communication, as humans strive towards common and yet differentiating forms of communication such as Facebook and Twitter. Surely social media forms, while giving each indivdual a voice, only exist to extend a modernist universalism, I don't believe the communication itself will become the aesthetic objects to be regarded along with the sculptures and paintings, but will be regarded as a whole entity, as a brand, that will ensure the modernist spectacle remains. Sure the arenas of communication may have evolved from the street corners and college campuses of the 1960's, to the frenetic pixels of the internet, but maybe the idea's haven't?
