surmodernity

Our current epoch, which comes after postmodernism, according to french philosopher Marc Augé.

“Surmodernity is characterised by the excess of time, the excess of space, the excess of ego. Astounding, isn’t?”

“Yeah su- oh look my friends are calling me”

supermodernity 

An aesthetic consolidation of postmodernism into highly-resolved aesthetic lines. Super-linearity; not so much a separate "-ism" as much as post-postmodernism. A celebration of the physical object alongside the processes that created it before the object becomes obsolete forever. Hipsterism. Brooklyn in 2017 : )

Supermodernity is characterized by form-function unity; an inflection point between the form-function duality of postmodernism and the design-attribute duality of hypermodernism.

A hipster in Brooklyn who eats craft jerky on a butcher board in the shadow of super-linear buildings of glass and steel is living an era of supermodernity; an era which celebrates an aesthetic consolidation of the postmodern past.
