	What is Hyperreality?
		Hyperreality is thought to be a consequence of the age that we live in.
		Hyperrealism is a postmodern philosophy that deals in part with semiotics, or the study of the signs that surround us in everyday life and what they actually mean.
		Hyperreality can also take the form of reality by proxy, in which a person takes someone else's version of reality on board as his or her own.

	Hyperreality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In semiotics and postmodern philosophy, Hyperrealism (not to be confused with surrealism) is a term to describe a symptom of an evolved, postmodern culture.
		Most aspects of hyperreality can be thought of as "reality by proxy." For example, a viewer watching pornography begins to live in the non-existant world of the pornography, and even though the pornography is not an accurate depiction of sex, for the viewer, the reality of "sex" becomes something non-existant.
		Hyperreality is significant as a paradigm to explain the American cultural condition.

		A general understanding of hyperreality is important for it is an issue at the crux of several critical debates within the study of media including semiotics, objects and space, the spectacle, performativity, the examination of mass media, Platonism, resistance, and the structure of reality.
		It is thus that Deleuze is able to claim that with the arrival of hyperreality Platonism has been reversed, for any original truth or ideal forms that provided the anchor for representation have since been permanently lost in the reproduction of simulacra and the construction of a hyperreality without any connection to the real.
		The conceptual use of hyperreality is consistent enough within the literature to give space for a common working definition for media theory, but the contrasting term ‘reality’ is used in far too many divergent ways to arrive at a unified understanding.

	The Great Indoors: Disney's Wilderness Lodge
		We take up with BorgmannÌs account of hyperreality as one which not only is congenial with an analysis of commodification, but also connects us to his larger project of understanding material and epistemological changes in an advanced technological setting.
		Disney's hyperreal island expands beyond the park, backing up their version of hyperreality with a context created through various media and shown almost around the globe; Disney is able to present their version of things and call it reality, blurring the lines between the real and hyperreal.
		Hyperreality and other artificial forms of experience are fast overtaking reality, replacing more immediate experience and perhaps, the immediate experience of reality itself.

	ARCHITECTURE IN THE AGE OF HYPERREALITY
		In the hyperreality of postmodernity, time and space seem paradoxically to be simultaneously absolute and relative.
		We may pretend to stability through the static and overdetermined forms and spaces of architecture, but the reception of the hyperreality of the postmodern environment, both concrete and virtual, is anything but static.
		Thus, the pursuit of "authenticity" might not be a matter of resisting the effects of electronic and mass media per se, but of exploiting their oscillatory, disorienting and hyperreal qualities to resist the collectivizing sameness of experience, thereby yielding a new definition of "authenticity" as the particularity of reception by the individual.

	Umberto Eco and His Travels in Hyperreality
		The essay that he subsequently wrote describing his trip, bore the odd title "Travels in Hyperreality," which made it sound more like science fiction than the brilliant work of culture criticism it turned out to be.
		As Eco explains it, his trip is a pilgrimage in search of "hyperreality," or the world of "the Absolute Fake," in which imitations don't merely reproduce reality, but try improve on it.
		It is in the two Disneys, where he finds the ultimate expression of hyperreality, in which everything is brighter, larger and more entertaining than in everyday life.

	Jean Baudrillard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However despite this he is not (or sometimes not seen as) quite as central to the philosophical school as may be the case, in part because of his complete rejection of the ideas of Michel Foucault (in the book Forget Foucault).
		Using this line of reasoning, Baudrillard came to characterise the present age - following on from Ludwig Feuerbach and Guy Debord - as one of 'hyperreality' where the real has come to be effaced or superseded by the signs of its existence.
		The concurrent spread of the hyperreal through the media and the collapse of liberal and Marxist politics as the master narratives, deprives the rational subject of its privileged access to truth.

		In a sense, Finnis[4] implies that we have to choose between subcapitalist discourse and the patriarchialist paradigm of context.
		Baudrillard's model of Baudrillardist hyperreality states that truth serves to reinforce class divisions, given that neocultural nationalism is invalid.
		It could be said that Sargeant[6] implies that we have to choose between Baudrillardist hyperreality and dialectic neotextual theory.

	Children and Hyperreality
		The consequences for children of this hyperreal rhetoric of violence is discussed by Deborah Prothrow-Stith in Deadly Consequences, where she describes her rotation as a medical student in the emergency room in Boston’s Brigham and Woman’s Hospital.
		These violent hyperrealities are a mythic form whose function and message is different from earlier literary and cultural forms used to educate and socialize children.
		Their significance, and the significance of hyperreality, lies not so much in their individual effect and meaning, but instead in the ways they combine together to uniquely define the experience of children and adolescents in postmodern America.

	Sigmon
		Borgman divides hyperreality into two categories: instrumental hyperreality, like the hyperreality of the financial world, an imaginary world constructed by telecommunications technology (phones, fax machines, modems and computers large and small), and final hyperreality, a not-yet fully realized hyperreal world which involves all our senses and creates a simulated world in which we can live.
		These forms of hyperreality are both real in effect and intangible in fact -- virtual memory behaves like memory in your computer, but it is a space created or designated by the computer and not an physical array of memory chips.
		The hyperreality which virtual reality systems combined with holographics and audioanimtronics make possible, although it may appear identical to physical reality, is nevertheless disconnected from it.

	Bad Subjects: The Hyperreality of Global Democracy and the Reality of a Void and Illusionary Enslavement
		It could be defined as the hyperreality of global democracy: the continuous reiteration of a faulty democracy.
		Some of the concepts I decided to analyze were the void and absence of meaning in postmodernity; embodiment from the real into art and virtuality; the idea of identity and its representation in virtual space; and alternative forms of engagement and interaction.
		This can be viewed as a representation of the hyperreality of the global democracy, the false pretenses of its prophecies that are, despite all, bought and sold in world media as the most real and truthful of democracies.

		Hyperreality is a dangerous concept because everyone can describe/define it differently.
		Hyperreality is a concept in which all reality is linked by communication (in its broadest tense).
		Of course it is. Hyperreality is another theory of reality and the rules of reality still apply in its division.

	The Huge Entity: The Hyperreality of Time: Past, Present, Future & Science Fiction
		In an age where progress appears illusionary, each new technological and scientific discovery shattering the realities we inhabit, science fiction has become an escape route equal to that of the literary realism of the mid-19th Century.
		The virtual, then, is mearly a hyperbolic instance of this tendancy to pass from the symbolic to the real - which is its degree zero.
		The hyperreality of time can be seen from many perspectives, e.g.

		Hyperreality has come to be known as a long term consequence of virtual reality.
		Virtual reality is wonderful in that it allows people to temporarily escape from the "real" world, yet some people have begun to choose to exist the virtual world rather than the "real" world.

	reality, hyperreality (2) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most debate on reality until the point at which hyperreality enters focused around the first definition, as a debate between those who believed in an unmediated access to absolute reality through philosophy, science, or bodily experience, and skeptics, who doubted the possibility of moving beyond external appearances to perceive ‘reality’ objectively [see unmediated].
		In his Symbolic Exchange and Death, Baudrillard agrees with Eco that the hyperreal “effaces the contradiction between the real and the imaginary." [18] However, Baudrillard moves to argue that the hyperreal is a condition much more wide spread than the theme park or wax museum.
		The hyperreal in Eco is also deeply tied to a rise in technology, which “can give us more reality than nature can." [21] For Benjamin, in his essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," technical reproduction lead to a decline in the rarified aura that clings to original objects.

	Is There a Subject in Hyperreality?
		It should be emphasized that Baudrillard does not identify the hyperreal or the virtual with the imaginary or the unreal.
		What makes Baudrillard's theory of the hyperreal problematic is the possibility for confusing the hyperreal with the pure or the impersonal (the fatal) since both are defined as the collapse of the subject/object distinction.
		However, the hyperreal is also defined as the elimination of the subjective point of view, the suppression of the look, the fact that the object of perception is always already there, already seen, thus preventing the act of seeing.

		Hyperreality environments can be used to recreate places that no longer exist or have never existed (e.g., Kent Larson's Hurva Synagogue [fig.
		The advantages of hyperreality environments, in terms of place making, derive from the richness of experience, familiarity, and visual comfort they convey.
		There is quite a bit more artistic freedom in abstracted reality than in hyperreality, which allows for stretching, or accentuating, place-making qualities such as scale and time.

		This creates a world of hyperreality where the distinctions between real and unreal are blurred.
		The potential for resistance is itself negated through a world of hyperreality, leaving the one-dimensional models to replace polyvalent "reality." Popular music provides a good example.

		Hyperreality tends to seduce people into believing that what is absent is present, into approaching its simulations naively, or, as Porush (1994) writes with reference to Baudrillard, into mistaking "the map for the territory, the model for the thing modeled, the simulation for the original".
		In another respect, the short story is interesting because it meets hyperreality at the point of fantasy: both prose fiction and the Net play with reality, the former, in fact, being a more traditional means of creating worlds and transporting us to them, as one may, following Longinus in his theory of sublimity, say.
		On the one hand, we have the rhetoric of hyperreality - the NEToric - which is characterized by a semiotics of simulation, in which information becomes "food", because it satisfies hunger for knowledge.

	The Enemyboard :: View topic - hyperreality
		Term "hyperreality" was introduced in 1976 by Umberto Eco and Jean Baudrillard(so?)...it's description of "disappearance of reality" which is caused by domination of instruments of mass-communication...
		They say that these instruments are trying to show reality in all her details, even the smallest one and most irelevant pieces, but on so high level of credibility that it can be called "hyper"...
		Hyperreality is illusion which is produced by instruments of communication and it shows her self as more credible, more accurate, more "real" then the reality which we perceive in our everyday life...
