Stage 5 Simulacra

A video essay questioning the next stage of reality or lack thereof with POSTPOSTPOST

MØRNING. What happens when simulations are no longer viewed as trickery, deception or imitation?

To celebrate the upcoming launch of our inaugural Burn After Reading newspaper we invited our contributor, Al Hassan Elwan, the inimitable internet-cultural voice, avant-gardest gardener and founder of POSTPOSTPOST, to question the concept of a singular truth.

Faced with reality’s increasing obsoletion, from generative AI, to reality TV and faux authentic brands, POSTPOSTPOST applies Baudrillard’s 4 stages of Simulacra and dares to manifest what lies beyond, when meaning has all but collapsed.

Follow @postpostpost to learn more about Stage 5’s post-truths and @morning.fyi for more updates on our newspaper coming soon.

Until next time!
