Reading this book really has changed my mind a lot, and also changed how I see things. One thing I want to write about is film, Chicago. In order to help Roxie free from death penalty, the lawyer helps her by 1. making up stories about her childhood and the murder. 2. propaganda it onContinueContinue reading “Post-Final Post”

Looking back at this book, I’m surprised at how the author packaged everything together while every bit of it makes sense. The book talks from ethnology and politics to sociology, biology, and art. In contemporary society, media is another medium that proves the “reality”. The propaganda of election and the marketing of products are twoContinueContinue reading “Simulation 9”

My final work is a piece of rendering image. I tried to reproduce the reference photo as accurate as possible without being too focused on details. If this work is going to be ranked among the different phrases of simulation, I’d say it belongs to the second phrase. I know it is impossible make aContinueContinue reading “Final Project”

Baudrillard connects the third order simulation with genetic codes. Genetic codes for human species are stored in DNA, and it’s something passed down from generation to generation. Although these cells are infinitesimally small, they carry a large amount of information with them. For a time that values productivity, cells in the human body can easilyContinueContinue reading “Simulation 8”

Page 92 to 102 talks about the second and third order of simulation. The difference between first and second order is that second order is reproductions made from automation. It started along with the industrial revolution. In second order, their authenticity, their origin etc are no longer cares concerned, since they are (re)produced identically “allContinueContinue reading “Simulations 7”

The Orders of Simulacra Jean Baudrillard identified three orders of simulacra since Renaissance: counterfeit, production, simulation. In the first chapter, he wrote about the counterfeit(first) phase. The first order is “based on the natural law of value”. The manipulations are mainly the reproductions of the originals, while they coexist at the same time. During theContinueContinue reading “Simulations 6”

Hi, here is a video of my presentation on chosen artist and his relation to simulations. https://youtu.be/YnEQ-2OA1tI sorry if the sound sounds weird at some point https://www.youtube.com/embed/DK_6JCrA3y4

It’s actually kinda ambiguous to find a mentor for this project. Most of the amazing works I found online are from knowledgeable studios. So instead, I tried to find studios that aren’t that big or individual artists. Then, I found this studio called MLEE. A large portion of well-known architectural rendering businesses are the Western.ContinueContinue reading “Mentor Blog”

I have to say this week’s reading is pretty hard. I have to read over and over to get a glimpse of the reading. This section mainly discusses simulation on the level of war. First of all, to my understanding, Baudrillard believes that peace and war is a paradox. If the perfection of the bestContinueContinue reading “Simulations 6”

Baudrillard introduced a concept called, implosion. He says when the opposite poles of “DNA” combine together, the subject and object collide, when cause and effect are merged, implosion happens. This activity blurs the boundary between real and hyperreal. To quote his sentence: “(…) hence into absolute manipulation–not passivity, but the non-distinction of active and passive.”ContinueContinue reading “Simulations 5”
