January 17 @ 19:30 - 21:00
FreeWhat do strawberries, Disneyland, and the First Gulf War all have in common?
They all feature in post-modernist philosopher Jean Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality. But you’ll have to come hang out to find out more.
Pop in, grab a glass of wine, and we’ll decipher Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation (which partially inspired “The Matrix”) as we explore the relationships between reality, symbols, and society. Free entrance.
Armchair philosopher and long-time Gozo resident, Erin Steele, enjoys pondering the complexities of human motivation and tackling controversial philosophical subjects. She returns to Arthall to discuss the theory of hyperreality by Jean Baudrillard. You might still remember her other talks at the gallery about anarchism, simulation, Marquis de Sade, Machiavelli… She is always ready to surprise us!
