Energy That Matters: Jean Baudrillard


  • Jean Baudrillard


    • Baudrillard may not have invented postmodernism, but he provided one on the best descriptions of it in his book, Simulacra and Simulations. Baudrillard describes a cultural universe in which humanity exists in a perpetual hall of mirrors, epitomized by television and the Internet. The media present us with an idealized world view that we consciously and unconsciously attempt to emulate --- then the media reflects our attempts at mimicry back at us, in an endless loop of copying ourselves copying a non-existent, fictional version of reality.


    Baudrillard's postmodern universe is very much in keeping with the Fluxus Attitude, and with Intermedia practices.
