"Simulated Realities" explores the postmodern concept of hyper reality. The hyper-real is concerned with the idea of the subjugation of the real by the fictitious. Where authenticity, or the original artifact, is displaced by an ever-increasing reproduction, and most importantly, when the reproduction becomes realer than the real. Examples of the hyper-real abound in modern life, so much so, that as a culture people have become less aware of this simulated reality.
