@textcavation I wish I could find essay online. I'm fascinated by B. You are right about him clinging nostalgicly to the real--never thought of that. I like the video by the way.
@bouxji thanks bouxji.... the challenge, art of the artists, where you "document" intangible art, just led me naturally to write that poem, much of it meant to accompany the images. ;) B's a useful resource. I just found it difficult, those first pages, trying to figure out whether he believed in the real, or didn't--- like so many postmodernists. ;) Presumably you have to have a real before you can have a hyperreal.
@textcavation@bouxji Post Script. Have you taken a look at Baudrillard's last book "Why hasn't everything already disappeared?" I wish he had looked at machinima. :)
@bouxji I taught his book (S&S). While there is much of relevance in it, I think the best application of his ideas to machinima is the essay "Holograms." Perhaps "second rate" is too general and not impartial enough. For Baudrillard, everything is in "ruins." For someone who talks about the hyperreal, he clings nostalgically to the real. That's all. Machinima makes a sign of a sign of something that isn't "real." Maybe B. would have had a heyday with this medium.
love the whispering and the singing, oh you are reading baudrillard haha well done :) see that you have been on a very fast learning curve with windlight settings, greenscreen and etc, very good work, well done !
That Umbrella piece of art was amazing. That technique has a lot of possibilities re: set design. Seems very intricately detailed.

You don't understand Jean Baudrillard--yet you say his theories are second rate? :-/

@CelestialElf Thanks so much, Celestial! :) Wish I could have gotten the piano accompaniment in there... it was a nice, dark, cynical minor key. ;)
