In a book on City as landscape: a post-postmodern view of design and planning (E&F Spon, 1986], Tom Turner argues that:

The modernist age, of "one way, one truth, one city", is dead and gone. The postmodernist age of "anything goes" is on the way out. Reason can take us a long way, but it has limits. Let us embrace post-postmodernism—and pray for a better name.

"Performatism" was coined by Raoul Eshelman, as a term to describe or replace the term "Post-Postmodernism". He goes on to describe it as "a new epoch in which subject, sign, and thing come together in ways that create an aesthetic experience of transcendency"...a place where meaning is created.

I think that in post-postmodernism, art is going beyond the idea of creating any sort of object to represent an idea, instead art is the idea itself. An example of this is the "Burning Man" festival, an annual event in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. Thousands of people gather there every year to participate in the burning of a giant statue of a human figure. The festival presents the current ideals of art- community, radical self-expressionism, and decommodification. Art has moved beyond the realm of the artist, the spectator, and the artwork. The line that separates the three is no longer there. It's about creating something that can transcend these boundaries, and not tie them to any one person or group of people.
