Postmodern Artist

Hellooooooo

Today in class we looked at postmodern artists.

These are some criteria for postmodern artists such as

• homage
• pastiche
• simulacrum
• intertextuality
• creation
• mixed between high and low class
• reflexivity 

I have researched on Sia because it is very interesting to see how she developed over the years of her fame.
I believe that she is postmodern because most of the criteria for postmodern artist matches her quite well.
The way she hides half of her face, the way she illustrates herself using a young dancer in her music videos, the colors she wears etc.

This is what I have researched at and this have also supported my ideas and thoughts about my Star as well.


Moreover, during the lesson. We also shared some ideas together as well.
I have learnt so much as well as some laughters because of how the artists developed as postmodern artists. I have taken some notes that I found interesting,
Including...

Mac Demarco

→ is he pastiche or parody?

→ uses bricolage = used a lot of songs from the past periods in his sampling and also covers in his concert

→ intertextuality - e.g. Michael Jackson

“Chamber of reflection” - asked his girlfriend dress as homer simpson and act sad

Influenced by John Lenon

→ Simulacrum = comic side

Very personal but on stage very crazy and different

→ consumption - into old things

→ creation - writes his own music, records it, produces it all at home

→ performance - mental and crazy (get naked sometimes)

Rich Chigga

→ pastiche - mocking american culture, gangster, ghetto culture.

• Anyone can be a rapper
• Asians can be rappers

→ simulacrum

→ influences

• Ghostface killah and pouya on the Dat Stick remix
• Reference in eung freestyle - live, flowsik, Owen Ovadoz

→ homage

• Bringing rap to south east asia
• “Drill rap”
