Study Notes
Hyperreality in Art
- Hyperreality blurs the line between reality and its representation, making them indistinguishable.
- Reality is simulated; what is perceived is not the actual object but its representation.
- Simulacra serve as representations of what is real, appearing as images and signs.
- Baudrillard identified four phases of simulation:
- The truth is presented as it exists without alteration.
- The representation distorts the original reality.
- An illusion of reality exists that lacks genuine truth; it gives the false impression of a real object.
- It is illogical to connect representation with reality, as there is no actual object represented.
