Simulacra:
- A copy without an original
- Simulation of the world
- World no longer exists
- Real world is a nuclear wasteland
Simulation:
- A model of the real or the creation of the real through conceptual or "mythological" models with no connection to reality
- We end up confusing the model for reality
- Homes, relationships, fashion, art, music, all become dictated by their ideal models presented through the media
- Nike doesn't sell trainers - but an identity. NikeID
- Creating a world of hyperreality - real and unreal become blurred
- Britney Spears is a simulation of a pop sex idol.
- Kurt Cobain is a simulation of a drug abusing rock star.
