Assignment 6: Simulacra/Simulation

DEF:
a slight, unreal, or superficial likeness or semblance
an effigy, image, or representation


Approaches:

Investigate objects, places or things that surround you that are highly mediated, controlled or filled with representations.

Create something to be photographed which makes us question the way that we interpret an image/photograph.

Make images about the ‘falsehood’ of representation - that point to the way that we can be fooled/tricked by images.

Re-create or re-stage existing images.

Consider:
How does color draw attention to simulacra and/or the condition of the hyperreal?
