Define the art of this time 2010

What name would you give it?

I think Bouriaud's Alter-Modern works. Or Ultra-modern?

When did it begin? How did it begin?

With the advancement in satellite technology and more importantly the global spread of the Internet. Also caused by major events in the world such as the financial crisis, environmental crisis, oil crisis.

What are the main principles associated with this Movement?

Influenced by Modern art, Post-modern art, and all the different movements in between, also affected by the current state of the financial and environmental world. I think it is a time of confusion. Artists living now are looking into the history of art and the future of this planet to find where art stands in this ultra-modern world. All of the previous art movements were during times when humanity was in an upward trajectory, not knowing the damage it was doing to itself. But, now humanity is almost at a crisis point where the path will start (or already started) heading downward if something isn't done.

Who are the main artists/critics associated with it and what is the aesthetic character of the Art of today?

Any active artist today. I think the aesthetic characteristic is that it has no aesthetic characteristic.
