The End of the Classical: Is ‘Re-’ the new ‘New’?

via article titled ‘Authenticity’ from the blog of Lebbeus Woods.

This image reminded me of an article I read sometime ago called ‘The End of the Classical’ by Peter Eisenman

I loved this poster because it illustrates how notions of ‘experiencing the classical’ have deconstructed themselves. We’re living in an era where rehashing is the classical. McDonald’s, remixes, rehashes, relinks, rethinks – The word ‘Re’ is the new ‘New’. Or is it?

Or this…

Today our notions of ‘classical’ (or the ‘original-itself’) are constantly being reinvented and hence removed incrementally from the Original itself.

In the near future, would our tagged, augmented, rehashed, recollective memory of a place, thing or experience itself become a new notion of classical?
