Talking heads—memes—social media—simplistic soundbites. We are living in a world Jean Baudrillard called the “hyperreal,” “the generation of models of a real without origin or reality.”
What is truth and what is hyperbole?
What is reality versus simulation?
In this course I taught at VCU, we explored the hyperreal, responding to politics, current events and mass media through publications and screen-based media.
