Modernist vs. Postmodernist/ We got to watch porn in class
Alright... deciding if I am a modernist or post modernist. First off what exactly are the two of these things. So there was modernism which was about stripping everything away except for the very basic communication and function. There was nothing extra in the design that did not aid the function. The reaction to this was postmodernism which notes a break with modernist principles. It emphasizes feel more than rationale and function. But if postmodernism grabs your attention more and in the end communicates better then I guess your again being a modernist for focusing on communication. Confusing. So i guess that I am a postmodernist who is striving to communicate so well that I'm a modernist? I don't know. I think this kind of relates to what I was discussing last week in the blog about having the perfect blend of form and content. I would rather get caught up in in the quality of my work than where my work fits in but, maybe understanding how my work fits into the scheme of things will help me to improve my work. Craziness... or should it be CrAYzeeNesS!!
