postmodernist's claim that in a media saturated world, where we are immersed in media 24/7- the distinction between reality and the media representation of it becomes blurred or even unvisible to us.
we no longer have any sense of the difference between no longer real things and immages of them, or real experinses and simulations of them. media reality is the new reality.
in the new modern period artists experimented with the representation of reality. in the postmedern the idea of representation gets "remixed" played around with through pastiche, parody and intertextual references- where the people that make the texts deliterately expose their names as constructied texts and make no attempt to pretend they are "realist".
- valuce judgements are blurred everything is down to taste, anything can be, deserve and audience, and culture "eats itself". there is no longer anything new to produce or distribute.
- the disrinction between media and reality has callapsed, and we now live in a "reality" defineded by images and reprenations, images refer to each other and represented each other as reality than sime "pure" reality that exicts before the image represents it.
