Metamodernism

Huh?

More 5:00 mark.


Well, Why?

Some ideas 

“We propose a pragmatic romanticism unhindered by ideological anchorage. Thus, metamodernism shall be defined as the mercurial condition between and beyond irony and sincerity, naivety and knowingness, relativism and truth, optimism and doubt, in pursuit of a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons. We must go forth and oscillate!”

About Shia:

It situates itself directly and purposefully in-between these paradoxes, and invites the viewer to join it in that space, and that is what makes it a truly metamodern piece of art.
