hypermodernity
hypermodernity is a design-oriented heuristic that -ssumes that the part, when deconstructed to an attribute, can become greater than the whole. this is in contrast to postmodernism which posits that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
a great way to counterpose postmodernism and hypermodernity is to say that while postmodern has an (anti-) object-orientation hypermodernity has an attribute-orientation
hypermodernity exists in an increasingly fault-tolerant user experience in which objects are being deconstructed to their skeuomorphs (mimetic attributes). a tangible example of this is the touch-screen keypad replacing the flip phone keypad.
this has measurable impact on cultural consumers; who now define a product as an intersection between form and function (-n-logous to whole and sum-of-parts unity in modernism). form-function unity induces a parallel revolution in material design and composition. (even the term “material design” is an oxymoron in postmodernism.)
the increasing prevalence of skeuomorphs in disparate technological contexts and mediums means that culturally, the fake converges with the real in a hyperreality or augmented-reality-as-an-interface existence. this is evidenced by the rise of virtual reality, google gl-ss, pokemon go, virtual geo-cache incentivization, and most significantly, false social nodes (filter bubbles) created by online social networks that have a off-world impact.
in postmodernity, we watched drama on television and interpreted reality as drama; in hypermodernity, we watch reality on television and live in a trumpian drama.
