Hyperreality




In Semiotics and Postmodern Philosophy , the term hyperreality characterizes the inability of Consciousness to distinguish Reality from Fantasy , especially in technologically advanced postmodern cultures. Hyperreality is a means to characterise the way consciousness defines what is actually "real" in a world where a multitude of media can radically shape and filter the original event or experience being depicted. Some famous theorists of hyperreality include Jean Baudrillard , Albert Borgmann , Daniel Boorstin , and Umberto Eco .
