Key Features of Simulacra
Hyperreality
In the digital age, hyperreality blurs the lines between reality and simulation, creating a world where the distinction is no longer clear.
Digital Fabrication
With advanced AI, digital content can mimic reality so closely that it becomes indistinguishable from the real thing.
