In a world where reality itself seems to be slipping away, Jean Baudrillard’s groundbreaking concept of hyperreality offers a chilling lens to view modern life. What happens when the boundary between the real and the artificial disappears? Are we living in a simulation-not of technology, but of meaning itself?
This video dives deep into Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, exploring how hyperreality shapes everything. We uncover how symbols, images, and narratives have overtaken the truth, leaving us trapped in a world where the “real” has been replaced by an illusion that feels more authentic than reality itself.
If you’ve ever questioned whether modern life is just a façade, this is the video for you. Let’s journey into the simulated, the surreal, and the inescapable hyperreal.
