Description

Jean Baudrillard's simulacrum is a philosophical concept that refers to the copying or representation of a reality that does not exist or is distorted. In the context of social media, the simulacrum can take the form of a virtual identity that hides the user's true nature. The shame of being on a social network that is instrumentalized for hate propaganda can be linked to the idea of simulacrum, as users of these platforms can hide their true identity and opinions behind a mask of respectability. This can create a feeling of shame or guilt in those who are aware of the problematic nature of this online community. Finally, Blush is a term that can refer to a feeling of shame or embarrassment, but it can also refer to a phenomenon of facial redness that often accompanies this feeling. Costa's painting can be seen as an example of simulacrum, as it represents a scene that is not directly observable, but is rather an interpretation by the artist. Similarly, social media can be seen as simulacra, as they represent identities and realities that are not always authentic. Finally, blush can be seen as a metaphor for the feeling of shame or embarrassment that accompanies the discovery of simulacrum nature and these representations, whether in Costa's painting or in instrumentalized social media. 3196 x 2150 px / 4k mp4 / 1 min / 56,2 Mo / 6 frames 1/1 collection 29/50 #simulacra a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece by : Fifty Years After - Oreste Costa – 19th century.
