late modernity

is a period which arose out of an aesthetic that privileges information and levels of analysis.

Strathem demonstrates [in Partial Connections 1991] that the late modem conception that all phenomena are infinitely complex and that all perspectives are only partial because the same information can be seen differently from another point of view is an effect of an aesthetic that places a central emphasis on the quality of information and in particular on the possibility of always moving the analysis to another level of scale' (Riles 2001:18).
