Post-modernism is the radical movement that developed in the mid to late 20th century, this broad movement covers the arts, philosophy, architecture and the criticism of modernism.

Modernism contrasts to this and is the movement from the late 19th to the 20th century. It celebrated ‘newness’ and wanted art and music to reflect a new and contemporary society diminishing traditional and old fashioned styles.

Hyper - realityJean Baulrilllard (1929-2007) suggested these 3 aspects underline the contemporary reality.

Simulation – living in this era of mass media causes the media simulation, we are constantly shown information, whereby much of this experience is through a media text. This is therefore a simulation which is dominated by TV, social networks, computer games, internet and all other forms of media.

Implosion – this can be seen as one of the biggest and most important aspect in our lives, Baulrilllard argues the distinction between reality and simulation which breaks down. We can make no distinction between what is reality and what is a simulated experience.

Hyper reality – the experience when the reality and the simulated media become blurred and no longer distinguishable, the ‘image’ aspect holds the power.
