"Hyper-reality is the technological mediation of experience, where what passes for reality is a network of images and signs without an external referent". - Jean Baudrillard
Patterns emerge when we are boxed inside a frame, an algorithm, house, LGA, and epoch. Seems like the only way is through… Data rising and falling, a kind of reality, a known world, a redistribution of our virtual selves in the matrix. Our bodies becoming particles pushed into the atmosphere and entangled in a liaison with rare minerals, mass consumer markets, melting permafrosts and wayward intergalactic surveillance agents. Our precious personal identities, funnelled through privately owned cables and platforms. The boundary between science fiction and social reality is an optical illusion.
