On Knowing: HYPERREALITY
A Philosophical & Artistic Workshop on Truth, Identity & Authenticity
In a world where reality is increasingly augmented by media, digital culture, and curated images, it becomes difficult to differentiate between what’s real and what’s constructed. Jean Baudrillard’s concept of Hyperreality explores how this blurred line affects our sense of truth, identity, and connection. From the idealised images we see on screen to the projections of perfect lives online, what happens to our relationship with reality? In this workshop, we’ll delve into Hyperreality and reflect on how mediated experiences shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
HYPERREALITY is a philosophical and artistic workshop designed to help you understand how the constantly augmented nature of reality influences your sense of rootedness and connection to what is truly real. Through a blend of philosophical discussion and creative exploration, you’ll identify how hypervisibility and the constructed world around you alienate you from authenticity. By engaging in introspective questions and artistic exercises, you’ll reflect on your relationship with reality, your identity, and the impact of digital culture on your ability to trust your lived experiences.
Workshops run for 2 hours, with an equal split of time between the philosophical portion and the artistic exploration. To preserve a thoughtful and impactful environment for our workshops, group sizes are kept small and spaces are limited.
No prior experience with philosophy or art is needed. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a unique piece of artwork inspired by your reflections. This is a welcoming, pressure-free space for exploration.
Learning to discern between the simulated and the real is not just about questioning our surroundings—it’s about reclaiming our connection to the genuine experiences that shape who we truly are.
This workshop can be taken as a standalone experience or as part of a six-week series, where each session builds on the last to deepen self-trust, clarity, and creative exploration. HYPERREALITY is session three of six in the full course.
