An international artist situated in Amsterdam the Netherlands. Valdemaar Psete explores the influence of different factors on the way modern reality is experienced. Since the early nineties Valdemaar Psete was interested in the idea of exploring the simulacrumtheorie described by the 20st century French cultural theorist and photographer Jean Baudrillard. In his works Jean Baudrillard constantly refers to so called Hyper Modern condition. As the philosopher Walter Benjamin seems to have said that there has never been an era that has not felt itself 'excessively modern'. Artworks by Valdemaar Psete refer to usually excessive claims made by contemporary scientists and philosophers, media eminents and art historians who among others contributed to the establishment of this condition. Hypermodernism refers to a cultural, artistic, literary and architectural movement distinguished from Modernism and Postmodernism chiefly by its extreme and antithetical approach. Hypermodernity (in some cases synonymous to supermodernity) is a type, mode, or stage of society that reflects a deepening or intensification of modernity. Characteristics include a deep faith in humanity's ability to understand, control, and manipulate every aspect of human experience. This typically is manifested in a forward-looking commitment to science and knowledge, particularly with regard to the convergence of technology and biology. The emphasis on the value of new technology to overcome natural limitations lends itself a diminution or outright repudiation of the past, since yesterday's knowledge is always less than today's. Besides the mentionned above Valdemaar Psete promotes and propagates the Hylozoic phylosophy from which Valdemaar Psete adapts the principle of soul endowment of everything and anything.
