METAMODERNISM OF 21`ST CENTURY

1

Our subcultures are dead, and literally were always dead. The biggest percent of supporters of this movement are young people. And talking about ‘new era’ young people, the situation is finally got the bottom (actually broke through the bottom). These actions in support for different subcultures, like punks, skinheads, ‘rasta’ etc. are only the way to show that you do at least some activity, albeit meaningless. The way to feed up your need to be not like others and to be like others.

And when it will die, when they will turn into ‘intelligent’ people, it will be only another metamorphose of another meaningless ‘subculture’…

Game in association with life is all that metamodern people of 21st century know.

INTERCONNECTION OF SCIENCE AND ART

3

Senses of science and art can be explained on the example of house and apartaments. The structure we live in, an outer part (a box), is science. It was built according to physics, geometry and stereometry. But the 'mind' of this building is inside (spiritual world), in apartamnets. Paintings, books, objects of aesthetic admiration – creatures of art.
