The TED community is busy with new projects and news below, some highlights. Essentially, Watts sets the table for one reality--in which what he's saying is nonsense and his audience knows it--and then pulls out the rug from beneath us all by cleverly encoding actual sense into his monologue. Those who watch and/or read the content of this article are encouraged to check out, also, Watts's "Why $#!+ So Crazy?" In 2008, he was awarded the J. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood Prize by Poetry.

Now with the allocation and the understanding or the lack of understanding we enter into a new area of science in which we feel nothing more than so much so as to say that those within themselves comporary or non-comporary will figuratively figure into the folding of our non-understanding and our partial understanding to the networks of which we all draw our source and conclusions from. While metamodernism doesn't go in for conclusions or endings--after all, if all realities are happening all the time, how can we say where any one reality begins or ends?--it often does use "looping" to show us that it is possible to return to realities we've visited previously, thereby creating a "frame" for all the realities we traveled to in the meantime. You can say Id like to go over to this location. What's interesting about the "frame" Watts puts on the song, however (namely, the fiction that it was penned on some previous date), is that it's so reasonable-seeming and convincing that it splits realities. Watts also elevates the formality of his diction by saying "unto ourselves," yet another example of how sometimes the gravitas behind a speech is as convincing as the words of which it's comprised. The talks are watched by crowds with certain time limits, are meant to be informative, and are broadcasted to millions who watch. In 2012, Watts gave a TED talk like none you've ever seen, and if you want to start understanding metamodernism better than you (or I) likely ever understood Modernism or postmodernism, one step is to watch the ten-minute video above and then read the blow-by-blow analysis of the video offered below. But while Gombrowicz returns to childhood in order to ruin his Polish Childhood, Watts returns in order to play on it.

Three things are for certain, however: Metamodernism is a hell of a lot more fun than its predecessors; metamodernism is far better than either Modernism or postmodernism at synthesizing youth culture in contemporary America; and metamodernism is now the primary compositional mode we see the most innovative young artists embracing. Proof that metamodernism can be distinguished from any preceding concept in art can be found in the person of Reggie Watts, a multi-genre performer who's primarily either a musician or a comedian or a slam poet, depending upon whom you ask and at what point you are in Watts's bizarre and disorienting stage routine.

The future states that there is no time other than the collapsation of that sensation of the mirror of the memories in which we are living. Feel not as though it is a sphere we live on; rather an infinite plain which has an illusion of leading yourself back to the point of origin. When we watch Reggie Watts "playing" his sound board, it's easy to think he's using a machine as a tool. Reggies comic greatness is also written into his body and history. For instance, what he offers his audience at this point in the performance isn't psychobabble or some other recognizable form of contemporary nonsense. He then, as he will continually do, use English to communicate to the audience recognizable words, but like before uses the words non-grammatically so that the second transition to familiar words is just the same as his first gibberish segment. Its tactile. 3. If you've ever been in a high school English classroom or a college English course, you've probably read one or more of the early twentieth-century Modernists.

[Gets in a lunging position]Okay. Damn. When Watts refers to "Sasquatch" as "fringe science," he's absolutely correct; when he then "corrects" himself and says "that's French science," he's using the similar sound of two words to put several new metamodernistic concepts in play. What's certain is that Watts changes his diction level to make that transformation; what's unclear is what it should mean to his audience that that shift has occurred. CA 90210, USA.

Keegan-Michael Key, Reggie Watts and James Corden each take turns delivering a fully improvised TED talk on topics and slides given to them on the spot. That still works. Can you disagree with such a statement? Watts reveals to us here how we often accidentally or even deliberately self-sabotage, but do so in a way so authoritative that others can't or won't see it. Because Watts has the microphone, because he's speaking in the accent of a highly-educated Brit, because it's a TED talk, and because Watts is relatively famous, him saying something is "common knowledge" creates a touch of "dramatic irony" for us--as we know that the reality we're living in, in which what Watts has said is nonsense, is not the reality Watts is living in in the moment he claims otherwise. In the clip above, we hear the words "self-interest," "topography," "future," "memory," "sensation," and "mirror," all of which are calibrated to sound as though they carry communicative content when in fact, in this context, they lay claim to none whatsoever.

That's why, even when he "exits" his string of linguistic code-switches to speak authoritatively in a false British accent, we find him addressing a topic entirely inconsistent with the occasion: He speaks of having just discussed a cultural "convention" in detail, though as that's impossible to confirm, and indeed seems highly unlikely, it casts doubt on the possibility that anything he said previously was relevant or coherent. However, the lyrics are just as non-sensical and nuanced to mimic dramatic styles of music so that the only possible knowledge to gleam is to acknowledge the absurdity of language itself. Did his audience hear what he said the first time, or did they only hear the correction, and therefore received as "nonsense" what was actually erroneously self-corrected sense? All rights reserved. Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. Well, all of this obviously. 10.

The background radiation is simply too static to be able to be seen under the normal spectral analysis. The satire derives from the grammar not making sense, but the words holding comprehension, so the typical situation is flipped on its head. Good comedians are great philosophers. Nonsense thus becomes content, and we as audience members must try to make sense out of nonsense, having no other material with which to work. Even the integrity and fidelity of the codes Watts is using are in doubt, meaning that even if his audience understood a number of those codes, and even if they looked beneath the patina of coherence Watts has layered atop his monologue, they'd still feel the anxiety of uncertainty--which is exactly how Watts wants it. Enjoy the rest. The other side of the coin to Watts's use of "ordered nonsense" is "disguised sense." This is an important metamodernist technique; whereas a postmodernist would switch between codes her audience understands, the better to emphasize how much content gets lost in translation, the metamodernist switches between indecipherable codes to underscore that it falls to us to make millions of communicative threads cohere. In Reggie Watts Beats Defy Boxes, he does just that. In "Why $#!+ So Crazy", the best example of this tendency was this gem: "We need to think inside the trapezoid.".

And the computer models, no matter how many that you have and no matter how many people that you use are never going to be able to arrive at the same conclusions. The gap between how wrong what Watts has said should sound and how wrong it actually does sound is one measurement of the power of language to "bump" reality just slightly, even if it ultimately doesn't dislodge it permanently. Theres no question. By starting his performance in a language other than English, Watts telegraphs to his audience that communication in the conventional sense is not his primary aim, nor is deconstructing language.

In his work, I find an interesting take on what I looked at in yesterdays blog entry; namely, what Gombrowicz calls difficult childhood.
