OUGD401 - Practical Work Research - Did postmodernity ever really end?

Are we living in a post-post modern era? Can we define movements at the moment? The two blogs below are two shining examples to me, that demonstrate the fact that postmodernism never really went today, and it's legacy and influence can still be felt across the creative spheres in 2015. I think that it is fair to say that the idea of postmodernity lives on, but postmodernity as a movement did slowly die at the end of the 20th century. It was fairly short lived, but it's memory lives on. The work of Pablo Abad and Chris Golden is distinctly chaotic and definitely not modernist in any sense of the word. Their work pops with colour and chaotic patterns. It has a sense of post-internet and vaporwave, but I wouldn't really class their work under those terms. It's unique, out of the box and challenging, embodying everything about postmodern work.
