Post-Real Time! I love the term. In my contemporary issuses class we spent a good amount of time discussing the term of Post-Historical Artist. The over use of "Post" and "Now" in contemporary art and culture becomes a bit tiresome. However, in theory I get so excited thinking about what the actual definition might be. Constantly I have to remind myself to stay within the bounds of my area (arts/media). As soon as I let myself apply these terms to the greater world the expansion becomes exponential. For us, being artist, these ideas suggest the need for forethought or projection of what may come next.
In the arts, as well as history, this is one of the most problematic and exciting areas of thought. The best any of us can offer is a constructed reality based on the now.
How many times have you asked yourself what is going on in the arts right now. Modernism, Post-Modernism, Post-Studio, Post-Museum..... what next? post-Real Time is a great possibility!
