112. Hyperreality

[@xaviercrain7336]

Given the last quarter of this video, I was wondering what these two brilliant readers would think of Edward Said’s critique of Baudrillard’s claim about the Iraq War not happening

[@terribleicecream3154]

Do you remember what text by Said that was? Just tried to google but couldnt find it

[@xaviercrain7336]

@@terribleicecream3154 I know that Edward Said did discuss it in one of his late works…possibly one including Reflections on Exile or after that. Derrida also issues a critique of it and the debate he had on it is on KZbin

I thought this was a very intellectually stimulating and informed discussion. Thank you for posting!

I’m surprise AI generated images were not mentioned. Hyper realistic, made from images of images of images, and being used as a source for things; it sounds like hyper reality to me…

Nice connection! We did an episode on AI art awhile back :) The video interview is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2G7mat4h6ifjdksi=LVPNiaNVA06XAUnP And full (audio) podcast episode, including interview, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anm5l4qwaaqnes0si=NWcMEjYo0Ku7TkRl

SO GOOD! Thanks for dissecting Simulacra and Simulacrum. Now I can read the book I bought a year ago 😆

My hyperreal self was captivated by the topic. 🕶️

I was wondering if the pseudo-event also encompasses such items as April Fool's day stuff, like the spaghetti plant, hoaxes, such as Ern Malley, the Sokal Hoax, Helen Demidenko/Darville, the cathouse for dogs, even Project Mind(rhyme for 'aquatic bird that quacks') events as the lost cat poster for an opossum. A side-note--: If presidential assassination attempts are the Disneyland of politics, does this mean Alan Sokal is the Disney, or is he the Disneyland, of Physics? :)

[@robertalenrichter]

The latter part almost sounds like an autocritique of intellectualism itself, lost in a mirrored maze of its own making.

at 38:00 / to create the real we thought we had lost...😮

[@maxwellmills4825]

What would baudrillard think about AI...? The ultimate similacra?
