“The Hyper real. Postmodernity is said to be a culture of fragmentary sensations, eclectic nostalgia, disposable simulacra, and promiscuous superficiality, in which the traditionally valued qualities of depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the random swirl of empty signals.”
Jean Baudrillard, 'Simulacra and Simulation'

“It is useless to dream of revolution through content, useless to dream of a revelation through form, because the medium and the real are now in a single nebula whose truth is indecipherable.”

"From a classical (even cybernetic) perspective, technology is an extension of the body. It is the functional sophistication of a human organism that permits it to be equal to nature and to invest triumphally in nature. [...] the body itself is nothing but a medium.
On the other hand, in the apocalyptic and baroque version of Crash technology is the mortal deconstruction of the body- no longer a functional medium, but the extension of death- the dismemberment and cutting to pieces, not in the pejorative illusion of a lost unity of the subject, but in the explosive vision of a body delivered to "symbolic wounds", of a body confused with technology in its violating and violent dimension, in the savage and continual surgery that violence excercises: incisions, excisions, scarifications, the chasms of the body, of which the sexual wounds and pleasures of the body are only a particular case - a body without organs or pleasure of the organs, entirely subjected to the mark, to cutting, to the technical scar - under the shining sign of a sexuality without a referential and without limits."
Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation.
Time to introduce my Simulacra And Simulation/Crash (J. G. Ballard) inspired work 🚗

The neighborhood is nothing but a protective zone- remodeling, disinfection, a snobbish and hygenic design- but above all in a figurative sense: it is a machine for making emptiness.
Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation, 1981

like a hypochondriac who simulates a cough so well the difference between the supposed fake cough and real illness becomes meaningless...we simulated goncharov so hard it became real. or at least, the difference between it and a real movie is now meaningless.
baudrillard was right and the simulacrum is true
#no seriously#read the book#simulacra and simulation#baudrillard#goncharov#film theory#this is one of the coolest phenomena to watch happen in real time

"The simulacrum is never what hides the truth - it is truth that hides the fact that there is none. The simulacrum is true."

We dream of passing through ourselves and of finding ourselves in the beyond: the day when your holographic double will be there in space, eventually moving and talking, you will have realized this miracle. Of course, it will no longer be a dream, so its charm will be lost.

"Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things."

“There is no more hope for meaning. And without a doubt this is a good thing: meaning is mortal. Appearances, they, are immortal, invulnerable to the nihilism. This is where seduction begins.”
