In fact I think that his theories of Trans-aesthetics and trans-everything else for that matter are pretty cool. But I suppose my question is, why does it matter? So what if it's all hyper-real. Hyper-reality is reality if you've never known any different. How can one be considered more or less important or true?<BR/><BR/>And even if art is in fact an illusion of itself, how does that make it any less critical to our culture. It seems to me that in Baudrillards model art is a perfect reflection of the hyper-trans-culture from which it was born. That, though depressing, is what art has always been. A mirror that reflects simotaniously it's reality (or in this case lack of reality).Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716629569048305675noreply@blogger.com
