Modernism memorial - A Funerary Monument for the Death of Modenism

Monument of Modernism. Today’s Modernism is generaly liked and in the same way it isn’t. This is due to the postmodern sense of people that they know everything and that they know better and more properly than others. Then how can we know or be sure that a monument marking the Modernism will be accepted. Postmodern man knows who he is. He knows what he wants. Then who are we to commit to coexisting or to perceive physical manifestation of the monument. With this idea has come the concept of it that the monument to Modernism must be submitted by the means of the postmodernism. By digitality.


Our proposal is a cube - ideal model perceived by both modernists and postmodernists. It is filled by means of the modernists - geometric bodies made up of their favorite "innovative and modern" materials, which so strongly attracted them. All this set amidst nature. But... but invisible to people. It is accessible only for the postmodern man having in his pocket a piece of technology. Only he could see the monument if he WANTS - scans the code from the label and directs his phone's camera at the empty space. On the LCD is displayed the surrounding area, but in it has appeared precisely the monument. So people will be able to accept or reject it. But thanks to technology and globalization people will be able to share their oppinion of it with everyone and in this way will enthuse interest in what Modernism is, who were the modernists, etc...


Placed like this in the postmodern world monuments violates the views of Modernism - oblige the person to see what they wanted and so live with the creation. But only by postmodern ways particles of Modernism might find a place today.
