It has been years since the accumulation of information began. THis so called information age. In those years the capability of storing infromation has XXXX. This created an enviroment of duplication of recording of revisitation. Through immersion in this density we have found the need to expand our vessels and reexamine the functinailty of the these vessels. As our ability to store has grown we now can find no functional reason not to record or store. As such we are forced to find other ways to liberate ourselves. This weight or ballast no longer needs to be shed as it only exists in an exeedingly compressed archive. Note the transformation of our librarys from physical form into encryption algorithms. We therfore have found the need to shift this ballast through a spiritual and intellectual liberation. An iconographic or ideological shift of our characters into formless and less complicated beings. The things which we attach value to change. The manner in which we exchange things is begining to radically alter. Commodities began to shift Hower this shift as with all things coallated and catalogued have lost meaning in our organic and ephemeral minds and as they have established independant cycles of thier own we now find our own minds now liberated of this ballast needing new concepts, stuctures and constructs to be defined and to fill these voids. This is and has been happening for some time and as the stockpiling of information continues, this new nessecity to create new ideological spaces continues to grow. This is the new moderism but the revisited modernism. It calls back to older times before the inforamtion could be archived. Yet it tries to take the old ideals of modernism and intepret them in ways which are relevant in todays enviorments which are grounded by the counterwieght of our archivalist counterwieghts. This new era could be described as Retro-Modern.
THus it is.
