Modernity that is expressed through art and culture. Rather than having a specific style/aesthetic, it is focused on a constant motif. That is the consciousness and changed experience of time.

Art that pushes into unknown, foreign territory. This is art that seeks to push the envelope and uncover innovation to shape the future. It is often experimental and perhaps sometimes incomprehensible to understand at first glance.

Comes after the idea of modernity and is posed as a reaction against it. It questions if modernity is still a valid cause, as it produces a fainter response in the current day.

The division of culture into autonomous factions. Science, morality, and art are all separate and work inside their own frameworks.

A perspective that points the finger at modernism to blame for social issues. It seeks to diminish modernist culture, while promoting ideas of tradition, conservatism, and a capitalist mindset.
