Answering the Q in a few sentences
EBI:
Explanation: Explain how this blurring works, what is
occurring, what its implications are
Link: What do audiences derive from this? Are there
criticisms of this? Are there wider
social/technological/ideological/ future implications?
One game that I have studied which blurs
the boundary between reality and
representation is the game GTA. In GTA a
sense of hyper reality is created through
the way they mimic the real world. They
feature things from the real LA, real music
on the radio, which also creates a high
level of verisimilitude. These features blur
reality and offer escapism to players.
Link: What do audiences derive from
this? Are there criticisms of this? Are
there wider
social/technological/ideological/futu
re implications?
