just a little bit modern.

The closing note to the postmodernism exhibition at the V&A has been etched on my brain, ever since the words entered it:

Do we still live in a postmodern era? The movement has left behind a sense of unresolved intellectual pro reactions. 


New orders music video poses as a melancholy question that is still worth pondering "why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?" 


Postmodernism was marked with a sense of loss, even destructiveness, but also a radical expansion of possibilities. In the permissive. fluid and hyper-commodified situation of design today, we are still feeling the effects.


In that sense, like it or not, we are all postmodern."


Food for thought...
