Hyperreality
Updated March 28, 2019
The generation by models of a real without origin or reality. — Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation
We have difficulty distinguishing reality from our stories about reality. The experience of hyperreality emerges when we live within stories of stories of stories that have lost their original connection to the real.
Hyperreality is a sign without a referent in the real world.
Questions
- Will AR and VR create new hyperrealities, or reenforce old ones?
- How is this concept related to intersubjectivity and social imaginary?
