NOTE : "In this passage of one space which bending is no more the one of reality, neither that of truth, the era of simulation opens on a liquidation then of all references -even worse: from their artificial resurrection in the systems of signs, more ductile material than meaning, in what it offers all systems of equivalences, all binary oppositions, all combinatory algebras. It does not deal any longer with imitation, neither with repeating, nor parody. It deals with a substitution of the signs of reality from reality, in other words with an operation of dissuasion of any real process by its operatory double, metastable signalitic machine, programatic, neat, which gives all the signs of reality and which by-passes all their episodes. Never again reality will have the opportunity of happening -such is the vital function of the model in a system of death, or more precisely of an anticipated resurrection that does not leave any more chance to the event itself of hyperreal death, from now on under the cover of imagination, and of any distinction of reality and imagination, leaving the place only to the orbital recurrence of models and the simulated generation of differences" Jean Baudrillard.
