Contemporary cultural style boosts transparency and instantaneity. These are values absorbed from our current economic conditions of disintermediation: cutting out the middleman. Like Uber, but for art. Immediacy names this style to make sense of what we lose when the contradictions of twenty-first-century capitalism demand that aesthetics negate mediation.

Flow is the ultimate twenty-first-century buzzword, but speedy circulation grinds art down to the nub.

Сериал "Аббатство Даунтон" полюбился многим за эффектные костюмы, однако каждое платье — это не только дань моде, но и отражение сложной, удивительно интересной эпохи. Действие начинается гибелью "Титаника", и заканчивается в конце 1920-х годов.

Immaginate un mondo in cui ognuno sia libero di esprimere la propria sessualità. Dove la vita sessuale di una donna non è oggetto di scrutinio. Dove chi ha trent’anni e non vuole figli non deve subire pressioni. Dove il ‘maschio alfa’ non è l’unico modello per un uomo. È un mondo dove le persone queer non sono considerate ‘diverse’. Dove ogni corpo è bello e degno di esistere. Cultura dello stupro e sessismo sono un brutto ricordo. Un mondo dove di sesso si parla anche a scuola, nei programmi di educazione sessuale e affettiva. Questo mondo non è ancora qui.
