It is not really "post modern" but there is no category for "performance art." Objectivism's definition of art "selective recreation of reality" does not allow for experiment. Of course, all of reality is reality, so even Pegasus -- nominally "unreal" must be composed of real parts put together in an unnatural (and impossible) way. So, is a soaring Pegasus anti-life anti-real, etc?

The intense details in Verneer are likewise unreal. Nothing in reality looks like that. That kind of detail at evey depth is impossible to perceive with natural senses.

I believe that it is a possible function of art to challenge our perceptions or our expectations or our expectations of our perceptions.
