Hyperreal: From Mass Reproduction to Simulacrum

👉 [Eventbrite Donation link] (Please disregard the 10-attendee limit shown on Meetup)

This luncheon talk—led by Gregory Brun, Ashland Symposia (ashlandsymposia.org)—dives into the evolution of visual culture and meaning. From John Berger’s Ways of Seeing to Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, we’ll trace the strange journey from art’s mass reproduction to the dizzying world of hyperreality. Part media theory, part cultural drift, this session invites you to question what remains real in a world saturated with signs. Casual, provocative, and Matrix-friendly.

In partnership with the White Rabbit clubhouse, we’re exploring bold new formats that foster community and spark reflection on the world we inhabit. This gathering is part of a midday "bring your own lunch" series hosted on site.
