“The hyperreal is a liminal, libidinal, magickal space, the progeny of the technological and the postmodern. It is the seamless fusing of the real and the unreal, the physical and the virtual, the human and the artificial until there is no a where they begin and, indeed, where they end. The snake consumes itself forever. You may find yourself, for different reasons at different times or in different locations, more in tune or involved with the hyperreal world and less with the physical real world. This is to be expected. And also to be encouraged.”

Brooks, A. 1975. On The Barricades, 17 February, Café de Flore, Paris.

Based on stories, some of them true.
