Postmodernism has been influenced by other art movements such as expressionism, video art, new media, etc. Two elements of this piece which express postmodernism are the Italian influences in the design of the building and the spacing of the structures themselves.

These artists were rebelling against tradition, and they wanted art to be more boisterous and entertaining.
