'Slash art, Mash-ups and Sweding all reflect postmodernism, discuss the characteristics and theories that make them post-modernism.'
In this essay I will discuss how slash art , mash-ups and sweding, are all postmodern. Slash art is art created by fans that focuses on the depiction of romantic and sexual relationships between characters of the same sex. Mash-ups are the combination of videos that have no relevance to each other in real life but are put together in a stlyise and well excuted way. Sweding is when you recreate a film but it is unedited and each scene is only one take so what ever goes wrong stays in the clip. I understand postmoderism to be embed in all cultural, intellectual and artistic areas but lacks any organisation and encompasses complexity, contridiction, ambiguity and diversity but everything is still interconnected in a way.
