Modernism is a movement of new ideas and interpretation of many important aspect of society such as literature, art, and fiction . One concept of modernism is hyperreality. We define it is the inability to distinguish between a simulation of reality and reality in state of consciousness. This immerging idea is consistently being more prominent. In todays technology advance one example of hyper reality is the phenomenon of Disney Land. In the present day we find ourselves questioning what we call reality. Disney land is the perfect example of ideal utopia. Where everything to do with it behold positive connotation. It is microcosm disconnected from the harsh reality of the world, Laing beyond this walls. Within it’s boundaries society is mesmerize …show more content…

Reality itself has started only to impersonate the model, which now goes before and decides this present reality: "The region no more goes before the guide, nor does it survive it. It is by the by the guide that goes before the domain—precession of simulacra—that causes the region" ("The Precession of Simulacra" 1). By, with regards to postmodern reproduction and simulacra, "It is no more an issue of impersonation, nor duplication, nor even spoof. It is an issue of substituting the indications of the genuine for the genuine" ("The Precession of Simulacra" 2). Baudrillard is not just proposing that postmodern society is fake, in light of the fact that the idea of imitation still requires some feeling of reality against which to perceive the guile. His point, rather, is that we have lost all capacity to comprehend the refinement in the middle of nature and stratagem. To elucidate his point, he contends that there are three "requests of simulacra": 1) in the first request of simulacra, which he takes up with the pre-cutting edge period, the picture is an unmistakable fake of the genuine; the picture is perceived as only a fantasy, a spot marker for the genuine; 2) in the second request of simulacra, which Baudrillard partners with the mechanical upset of the nineteenth
Modernism represents those who felt that old forms were becoming outdated in the new age of the industrialised world – characteristic of modernism is the experimentation with form, and the idea of rejecting realism. (Wikipedia
Considering how to define Modernism and PostModernism required looking at how worldviews today play a large part of our perspectives towards society, culture and religion. Modernism is a sociological movement that began in the last decade of the 19th century and first decades of the 20th century that rejected the customary or traditional worldview to a new and improved way by asserting a shift in power and authority into the providence of leaders in politics and universities and away from the church.
...rience of 'the modern age'. It participates in the discourse about change and progress that arises in the condition of modernity, by calling up the dialectic between the (often devalued) past, and the present becoming future (i.e. change/progress) that defines it. The assertive locomotive, harbinger of the modern world, that charges into the center of this painting make clear the urgency of this, this dark 'rational' machine must tear through the fields of a 'natural' golden age, for this is what it means to be modern. This evocation of the dialectic nature of modernity was at the heart of the colonial project. In an age of imperialism where the dominant discourse was social Darwinism a nation had to become a 'progressive, civilizing force' in order to justify its imperialist/capitalist endeavors (enacted against a 'less civilized' anachronistic other — at home and abroad), as well as stave off colonization by a more progressive adversary. Thus, even though this painting embodies, on one level, the contemporary anxieties about new technology, it also participates in a larger discourse about progress, capitalism, colonialism and ultimately the condition of modernity itself.
In the time after World War One a new way of thinking became prominent. This new idea is what we call Modernism. After the war it was realized that many people had suffered absolute horrors, ones that they never could have imagined, or ever forget. The violence and pain witnessed by so many left them psychologically shell-shocked, and filled with disillusionment. These psychological effects would soon alter the world for years to come, and lead many to a loss in faith and questioning of everything they once believed true.
Since Thierry’s reason for creating street art was not about rebelling like Fairey’s, but about gaining agency, he helps change the meaning of street art. In this way, street art becomes less about rebelling from society, and more about using it to achieve fame and money. The idea of a changed meaning is brought up in Jean Baudrillard’s essay Simulacra And Simulations. Baudrillard talks about the hyperreal, which is “sheltered from the imaginary, and from any distinction between the real and the imaginary, leaving room only for the obitital recurrence of models and simulated generation of difference” (2). In other words, the original meaning of certain things is covered up over time through reproduction.

He wants to show that people see things that are not real and accepts unreal things as reality. He depicts that people accept things that are unreal without knowing the reality. He also portrays that finding out that the reality is not real makes them understand that they believed in false reality. He wants people to have knowledge about the reality to
Modernism is defined in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as "a self-conscious break with the past and a search for new forms of expression." While this explanation does relate what modernism means, the intricacies of the term go much deeper. Modernism began around 1890 and waned around 1922. Virginia Wolf once wrote, "In or about December, 1910, human character changed." (Hurt and Wilkie 1443). D.H. Lawrence wrote a similar statement about 1915: "It was 1915 the old world ended." (Hurt and Wilkie 1444). The importance of the exact dates of the Modernist period are not so relevant as the fact that new ideas were implemented in the era. Ideas that had never before been approached in the world of literature suddenly began emerging in the works of many great authors. Two of the pioneer Modernist writers were Joseph Conrad and T.S. Eliot. The tendencies to question the incontestable beliefs embedded in all thinking and to focus on the inner self dominated. Old viewpoints were tossed aside to make way for the discovery of modern man's personal spirituality. Two works that are considered important forbears in the Modern period are T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
Having it in his jail cell, he tells us, “something is dead in it” (Banville 221). In having so many representations of the Woman blending together, yet differing responses to each, Banville creates what Baudrillard calls a “hyperreality” – the inability to distinguish reality from its representations; even engaging with the representation with no clear distinguishing from the “real” (166-184). Freddie forms a relationship with the Portrait of the Woman with Gloves, even though any interaction with the “real” woman herself is absent. Through this, Banville calls forth the problematic nature of representation, that the artist’s role in recreating reality is rather limited in allowing us true experiences with what is “real”. But this perhaps, does not make these experiences any less
Disney’s vision of a “cleaner theme-based park where families could become part of the magical world that his films depicted on screen” slowly became a reality (American Experience). “He created WED, Walter Elias Disney, Enterprises, to oversee all of his ‘imagineering’” (Designing Disney). “Soon after he found 160 acres full of orange groves and Walnut trees in the little town of Anaheim California” (Designing Disney) where his world began to come to life. To receive all the funding needed, he went to ABC studios and took with him the most detailed drawing and plan of this misunderstood idea.
Modernism A modernist approach to production, which is reflected by many experimental and avant-garde works of video and film, often calls attention to forms and techniques themselves. Modernist works fail to create a realistic world that is familiar, recognizable, and comprehensible. A modernist media artist instead feels free to explore the possibilities and limitations of the audio or visual media without sustaining an illusion of reality. The modernist approach to production highlights a degree of artificialness in the elements of the production process. One place where modernist approach to production differ radically from realist approaches is the way that they use light and color.
Following this path it is essential then to understand the meaning of the era that was before- modernism, which shaped the modern times and in turn led to the birth of postmodernism. Both of these phenomena were influenced by current economic and political changes and it’s meaning applies to a broad intellectual, cultural and artistic movement that generally includes art, architecture, music and literature. From the artistic perspective the main idea of those movements was to present the spirit of the new era. Both of these periods stand for different values and are often perceived as a contra dictionary to each other. Nevertheless photography was an important part of both of these movements and was used by artists as a respond to rapidly transforming world through artistic expression. According to Douglas Crimp (cited by Andy Grundberg in his essay titled “ The Crisis of the Real. Photography and postmodernism.”):
• Limbo is shown as being a simulacrum as it is the complete opposite from reality and is undesirable to the characters. • The dream world is also a simulacrum of the real world. It is stage two (the perversion stage) of the four-stage
Many believed that Modernist works were not “art” because they did not always look like real life. But what is “real life”? A new outlook on reality was taken by Modernists. What is true for one person at one time is not true for another person at a different time. Experimentation with perspective and truth was not confined to the canvas; it influenced literary circles as well.
Baudrillard describes about three orders of simulacra. The first one is related to the pre-modern era where the real is represented by an illusion, counterfeit or just a marker. He associates the second order of simulacra with the industrial revolution where the break down with the reality begins when products are made in mass and copies of the real products are proliferated, and the third order of simulacra is connected with the postmodern era where the reality is lost and cannot be easily recognized. However, he states that the real still can be found but only through critique and political activism in the second order of simulacra. (Baudrillard, 123).
