A late 20th century movement that is characterized by broad scepticism and subjectivism.

Post structuralism
An effort to understand, interpret or shape a social environment, it encourages a way of looking at the world and questions the aspects of what we know.
High culture

What are you looking at? - Will Gompertz
I have annotated parts of the article that I thought were important to highlight. I found this article pretty interesting, it Made me think about how some artists don't like to associate much with their work and like to keep themselves separate, I feel like this sparks more interest into the actual piece of design instead of the designer, which fully emphasises their work. It also sheds light on the idea that everything has a meaning, from the colour, objects material, the possibilities are endless. it encourages me to think a lot more deeper into designers work and search for something more meaningful. Post modernity is always evolving and changing with the times, so its difficult to depict what is post modern and what isn't.
