MTV, aka "Thigh Marketing"/Postmoderism


postmodern: adj.
1. noting or pertaining to architecture of the late 20th century, appearing in the 1960s, that consciously uses complex forms, fantasy, and allusions to historic styles, in contrast to the austere forms and emphasis on utility of standard modern architecture.
2. extremely modern; cutting-edge: postmodern kids who grew up on MTV.

this is an Elodie Pong image. It is a still from a video and also should be considered "high art" because if its extreme engulfment into the postmodern movement as well as MTV and the kids who grew up on it. If there is a such thing as the rejection of modernism and subverting the standard/not standard/whatever, this is it. I saw some of her shit at Art Basel Miami. I missed the Stripper Panda video though...the mojitos were free.

ps- i made a video piece about my dog today......and i also composed my first musique concrete score. itll all be on youtube soon.
