Hyper-reality,
image saturation, simulacra seem more powerful than the "real";
images and texts with no prior "original".

I am a
postmodernist. Post modernism allows for more imagination and freedom. I believe in the sense of hyper0reality as sometimes representations aren't seen as more important as the original.
