"Altermodernism can be defined as that moment when it became possible for us to produce something that made sense starting from an assumed heterochrony, that is, from a vision of human history as constituted by multiple temporalities, disdaining nostalgia for the avant-garde and indeed for any era- a positive vision of chaos and complexity. It is neither a petrified kind of time advancing in loops (postmodernism) nor a linear vision of ihstory (modernism), but a positive experience of disorientation through an art-form exploring all dimensions of the present, tracing lines in all directions of time and space." -Nicolas Bourriaud

I became obsessed with him after I read this in an article in Artforum, if you ever feel like exploding read "Relational Esthetics" and/or "The Radicant". Bourriaud is absolutely, wonderfully crazy.
