- 3. Metamodernism http://www.metamodernism.org/ The present is a symptom of the twin birth of immediacy and obsolescence. Today, we are nostalgists as much as we are futurists. The new technology enables the simultaneous experience and enactment of events from a multiplicity of positions. Far from signalling its demise, these emergent networks facilitate the democratisation of history, illuminating the forking paths along which its grand narratives may navigate the here and now. “his work investigates the operations and oscillations of art, exploring presence and affect across the physical and digital realms” About. Luke Turner “thus, metamodernism shall be defined as the mercurial condition between and beyond irony and sincerity, naivety and knowingness, relativism and truth, optimism and doubt, in pursuit of a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons” -Metamodernist Manifesto

- 2014- #startcreating Cease and Desist letter for plagiarism told him to Stop Creating. Responded with skywriting it, Followed by #startcreating. Gathered the Instagram photos that were tagged and compiled onto Tumblr. Audience action necessary for the installation. Encourage community, crowdsourcing of the images/views
- Students from Central Saint Martins, a London arts college were asked to write a short script for Shia to act out in front of a green screen. CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSE. “Submit a piece of text lasting up to 30 seconds or no more than 100 words. This can be as poetic, abstract or literal as you like — with the emphasis on expressing the feeling and tone of the work being introduced.”
- And the internet responded. Moved beyond the words of the students, the performance of Shia and into the art of the audience in continued creation.
- Watched all of his movies in reverse order at the Angelika Film Center in NY. Audience invited to join him in the theater- live streamed. Before that had been tweeting the first line his character speaks in his movies in reverse chronological order. Twitter hashtag for online audience to follow. This is what changed the critics mind about his art.

Sincerity, humanity Empathy, emotions Creativity. Interview: One guy was telling me he had just moved to New York three months prior and didn’t know nobody…he said he had 13 new friends, 13 new contacts of people he wanted to hang out with….The goal walking in is to highlight the connectivity of the networks. Not just to highlight it, but to engage it.
- Touch my Soul- three days in a gallery in Liverpool and invited strangers to call them and asked “Can you touch my soul?” Community of Twitter followers describing their attempts to call. More connection

Once again an online community popped up around this, connecting people. Also connected people who met waiting to meet him or on the trips. Interview: Built a Community around the hashtag. Interview: EXERCISE EMPATHY Had “Faith in the Network”
- How can artists cut through the noise of mass culture and connect meaningfully with their audience- Article on their art asks this- using the internet and connection to do so. How to connect in a digital culture? Using technology to connect rather than divide. There is room for sincerity with the irony. Along with humanity and empathy. Connecting audience members, audience connecting with the artists. Explore metamodernism- can it exist without the internet? Reinserting empathy and humanity into the technology.
