Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature, and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science.

Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present.

One of the very basic ideas of Post-Modernism is rejection of arbitrary power structures. Different people are sensitive to different kinds of power structures.

My definition of modernism took a while to develop.
What interests me, and has always interested me, has been modernism.
And yet what is Modernism? It is undefined.

Because of the need to remove all modernism, we stayed in the middle of nowhere all day long, living out of tents. It was cold. It definitely set the scene.

A ""modern"" man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the dead limb of time like lice.

A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.

a tribute to the Absurd
Happiness is a ballpoint pen
Happiness is irrelevant
Happiness is talk
Life is running out of ink
Life is waterfalls and irrelevance!
and Godot
Life is waiting
Life is post-modernism
Loneliness is too much
ink
is happiness it is falling water it is
irrelevant life is
unsensical but musical
abusical defensible
Someday I will write about relevance
someday someday someday
point: waterfalling ball___ pen = someday ink
someday ink is my lonely happy outness
Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.

Michael The Arc Angel
Hunted in the abstract painting
The lions of post modernism
Rules are gone
No eternity lingers in the background
Endless gray
Crushing freedom
The law becomes transit mores
Bought and sold
Dealt like a market
We dissipate into the state
The state becomes the globe
Numbers and calculations
Armies with spears as long as 1984
Science a commodity
Politics a new world order
Secular humanism laughed at by Nietzsche
Genetically modified food chain
Genetically modified disease soon to come
Genetically modified man is coming
Biogenesis the new via evolution
Species in the image of Lucifer
Who can stop the night?
I see Michael the Arc Angel fighting

In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.'

Post Modernism
Illusive unity in religions of ideology
Nothing can replace the universal
Fragments and strands collide
Darkness and light will always be
Right and wrong have not changed
Alchemist of the human soul
Retreat from the political madness
Down to the ground where love abides
Tree of the knowledge of good and evil
Man constantly divides himself
Out of many one
Definitions become temporary
Morality is an old fascist
Culture changes into fragments
Everything is accepted
Utopia turns to fretful, fearful life
Homogenization
Technology with the loss of ethics
Sin disappears - sex becomes a drug
Androgynous freedom with no base
No boundaries with the Tower of Babel
Money acts like a universal
Like spirit and religion
Globalization
The image of God diminished
The image of man diminished
Post modernism in a frigid world
