From Virtual to HyperrealJEAN BAUDRILLARD
We’re living in a Hyper reality.There’s no way to distinguish objects
from their representations.They become “simulacra” that finally
become the “true”.
Things disappear and are substituted by their own representations.
JUNJI TSUCHIYA
He reflects on hybridation between physical reality and virtual reality into the whole critical context to

The research points out many sociological problems connected to the post modern science condition
and the even more changeable borders of the ontological definition of “human”.
