The author revises a known theory by Fredric Jameson on postmodernism as culture in the age of late capitalism and demonstrates how culture and art have changed since the late eighties when discussed by Jameson. Above all a transition from production to services and a paradigm of consumer, user, evident in economy, has taken place in culture and art as well. At the same time art has actually developed critical charge, which lacked in the phase of postmodernism, as taxed by Jameson.

The author introduces a term transart to term contemporary artistic approaches that present actual shifts: transdisciplinarity, heterogeneity, social responsibility (reflectivity), networking etc. Special attention is devoted to socially critical practices in Slovenia. The author ascertains that these have shifted from obvious reference to the historical avant-gardes in the 90s to actual social and cultural criticism (after 2000) that shows interest in the issues of nationality, control, consumerism and ideological and actual influence of scientific technologies to contemporary society.
