A synthesis of past and future--specifically retrofuturism and neotraditionalism ((inverted time regression (recursion))--to create a resonant eternal present; an “end of history; a completion of the Hegelian dialectic. Founded on recursive synthesism, it unites the physical and metaphysical; the existential and ideal; and the personal and universal into a single mythos.
Metamodernity is the successor to
hypermodernism in which time is the final skeuomorph. In metamodernity time is manifested by three aesthetics: 1.Retro-modernism (1950’s motif) 2. Electro-industrialism (1980’s retrofuturism) 3. Object-infrastructure unity (2080’s)
Metamodernity has three primary
technological motifs: human-agnostic consciousness, object-infrastructure unity, and information-energy unity.
In the cultural paradigm, each part is considered equivalent to the whole. This is in contrast to
hypermodernism in which the part (attribute (imitation (skeuomorph))) is GREATER than the whole.
Metamodernity transcends the convergence/
intersectionalism/monotheism/linguistics-centered world of logos to connect singularity with duality (the ultimate synthesis). This is called the Vikaasian Paradox. Metamodernity unites Eastern philosophy with Western aesthetics which are now believed to display implicit cyclical time. Academia returns to mythos in a final triumph of philosophy over science.
