week 11

memes!

My first meme is in response to “Some Thoughts on Performance and Materiality” by Nina Horisaki-Christens, as I was thinking about our increasingly mediatized experiences and how it’s become blurrier to distinguish between experiences with media and experiences in the material world.

My second meme refers to “Simulacra in the Age of Social Media: Baudrillard as the Prophet of Fake News” by James Morris. I wanted to make something about Trump and fake news, particularly his somewhat failed social media platform “TRUTH social” to comment on this direct invocation of the idea of truth being whatever feels best to people rather than what it empirically “true”.
