Trees Friday, Jun 19 2009
personal 2:59 am
When the sun is out, there’s a tree outside my window that looks like it’s been photoshopped. Everything about it just looks wrong somehow, and it really bothers me. I’ll see if I can’t get a picture one of these days or something (apparently not this week, though, because I guess it’s going to be raining constantly and forever this week). It is still weird that we live in a world where we can have this problem. Sometimes reality doesn’t look sufficiently real. Sometimes this is because it’s been ruined by media; that’s what hyperreality is all about. So what do you call it when something looks fake because it looks like a poorly done fake on the internet? Is that hyperreality, too?
