PROJECT TYPE: DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION Inspired by Baudrillard's book Simulacra and Simulation, I decided to make the internet and the concept of the hyperreal the focus of my graduation paper and art project. After making a couple of accounts on the most used social media platforms, I explored the content presented to the new user without interacting with it. Then I began compiling the posts I found were most in conversation with the ideas Baudrillard talked about in his book. The project turned into satyric digital illustrations of those posts.
