How can one write avant-garde stuff in the 21st century? Has everything been tried and there's nothing left to invent?

Not terribly difficult. Read some of the Dalkey's contemporary published output for an idea of what people are up to

You don't. The avant-garde is fucking shit. Your art is going to get fucking boring after a while if it's only value is in it's novelty.

The sole moment in watching Adam Curtis' Bitter Lake that I thought made it worth it was when there was a clip of american educators trying to teach Iraqi women about western art. Their faces when they stared at a picture of the urinal, as the american feebly tried to explain why Duchamp was a revolutionary artist, were better than the rest of the movie combined.

Don't try to make artwork that will be described as avant-garde. Make the artwork that you want to –that is, the artwork that is desirable in your mind –and be satisfied with that. Whether it is avant-garde or not isn't a matter of quality, just description.
It is possible to make avant-garde art in the 21st century. There is plenty of stuff in music, film, literature especially I think, that hasn't been done. But you should only do it if you see a need to.
