    Yes, it seems to be headed towards a New Modernism (as I like to call it - heh!) in art, architecture, graphics, and I guess you could even argue some music is retro-active (although I won't).
    After postmodernism, and all it's applied glory, there was the rebellion against a 'structure', and deconstruction emegered. From there there was attempts to create 'emergence', or experiment with randomness, computers, etc. This correlated nicely with fractals, chaos theory, etc.. as science, art, and architecture often parallel each other during large movements.
    Now we are moving past this random/chaos and cleaning it up a bit. Smoothing the edges.
    It's gonna be cool, I think. Formal Modernism, clean but not sterile. Yeah, that's it ; )
