Hyperreality is the inability to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality. The media has the ability to present something that does not accurately reflect actual reality. Hyperreality is the post modern semiotic concept and refers to the inability to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality. This concept is relevant due to our technological advanced society that allows for fake realties to be passable. An example of Hyperreality in technology is the use of AI generated images that represent humans. This can be found here https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/ … I found this super interesting to look at as if I did not have the insight that the images were computer generated then I never would have guessed that they weren’t real humans.

This image plays into the notion of not being able to distinguish between what is true and what is happening through the theory that we ourselves are in a simulation without our knowlege.
I enjoy how in this post you again, delve more into the theory, which differs to my approach to the topics in terms of how I approached it in terms of explaining my remediation rather than the topic.

In this blog post, I really loved how you focus more on the theory side of things and intertwined it with the use of articles and photos. Great week 8 blog post!
