Problem
I. A brief definition of the term postmodern. What technological and social changes in the Information Age led to the development of postmodernism?
II. Describe how 1 of these 3 examples expresses postmodern art in the Information Age: Warhol, "Campbell's Soup Cans;" Borges, "Borges and I," and Parliament Funkadelic, "Give Up the Funk." For each example, identify the medium, describe the content, and discuss in detail the form. Be sure to refer to the elements of art for each discipline: Visual Art for "Campbell's Soup Cans," Literature for "Borges and I," and Music for "Give Up the Funk."
III. What does it all mean? What did you think or feel while engaging with "Campbell's Soup Cans," "Borges and I," and "Give Up the Funk"? How do these works reflect the Information Age? What role do the copying, jingles, and sampling typical of advertising in our consumer society influence these works? How do the works reflect on fame -- or the human as commodity? How do these works transform or challenge the tools of advertising and consumption?
