'That post modernism is indefinale is a truism.
However, it can be described as a set of critical, strategic and rhetorical practices employing concepts such as difference,repetition, the race, the simulacrum and hyper reality to destabilize other concepts such as presence, identity, historical progress, epistemic certainty , and the univocity of meaning'

The Future- Altermodern?
'Coined by curator Nicolas Bourriaud on the occasion of the Tate Triennial 2009,
Altermodern is an in-progress redefinition of modernity in the era of globalization,
which focuses on cultural translations and time-space crossings. Against cultural
standardization and massification but also opposed to nationalism's and cultural relativism,
Altermodern artists position themselves within the worlds cultural gaps.
Cultural translation, mental nomadism and format crossing are the main principles
of altermodern art. Viewing time as multiplicity rather than as a linear
progress, the altermodern artist navigates history as well as all the planetary time
zones producing links between signs faraway from each other. Altermodern is
'docufictional' in that it explores the past and the present to create original paths
where boundaries between fiction and documentary are blurred. Formally
speaking, it favors processes and dynamic forms to one-dimensional single
objects and trajectories to static masses.'
