Proclamation d' Altermodern

Postmodernism Died

A new modernity is emergence, modified at an age of the universalization - included/understood in its cultural economic aspects, policies and: a culture altermodern.

The increased communication, voyage and the migration affect the manner that we live.

Our daily lives are composed of the voyages in a chaotic universe and teeming.

Multiculturalism and l' identity is caught up with by creolisation: The artists are now to leave d' a generalized state of culture.

This new universalism is based on translations, to subtitle and generalized doubling.

Today' ; l' art of S explores the bonds which it text and l' image, time and l' space, armour between itself.

The artists answer a new generalized perception. They cross a cultural landscape saturated with signs and create new ways between the multiple formats of l' expression and the communication.

Triennial the 2009 of Touches at Touches Great Britain presents a collective discussion around these places that the postmodernism finishes, and we test l' appearance of d' a total altermodernity.
