But it is no longer a question of either maps or territory. For it is with the same imperialism that present-day simulators try to make the real, all the real, coincide with their simulation models. Perhaps only the allegory of the Empire remains. In fact, even inverted, the fable is useless. It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in the deserts which are no longer those of the Empire, but our own. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the territory-precession of simulacra-it is the map that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or a substance.
Abstraction today is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror or the concept. The simulacrum is true.-Ecclesiastes If we were able to take as the finest allegory of simulation the Borges tale where the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory (but where, with the decline of the Empire this map becomes frayed and finally ruined, a few shreds still discernible in the deserts-the metaphysical beauty of this ruined abstraction, bearing witness to an imperial pride and rotting like a carcass, returning to the substance of the soil, rather as an aging double ends up being confused with the real thing), this fable would then have come full circle for us, and now has nothing but the discrete charm of second-order simulacra. Jean Baudrillard: Simulacra and Simulations The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth-it is the truth which conceals that there is none.

UPDATE My daughter sent me this video that talks about the music score of the movie. What is the Matrix? Who is controlling you? Are you going to take the red pill or the blue pill? Is our existence real? Is it meaningful? Do we have a purpose? Do we have REAL choices?… Isn’t after all the fate of the Matrix franchise the perfect metaphor for Baudrillard’s third order of simulation? (blinking) To be Continued. The Wachowskis have no answers but only questions. It’s a maze of self referential signs that lead to no exit and mirroring each other. It all depends on your point of view and what you know. Maybe the Matrix is a complex riddle without a solution.

CONCLUSION Maybe the message is that The Matrix can be substituted with any of the following: Capitalism, Communism, Religions, Totalitarian Orders, Technology, Drugs, Media, Selfish Gene, and the meaning of the parable would not change: we are all enslaved to one system or another and made to believe we are free or that we ‘choose’ to be part of it. Baudrillard’s approach of three orders of simulation is in turn applied to ‘unpack’ the Matrix Trilogy. Sheila Glaser is an editor at Artforum magazine.The aim of this essay is to analyse a rather unique example of a literalization and visualisation of Baudrillard’s philosophical ideas about simulation in a mass culture product, the movies The Matrix Trilogy. Baudrillard’s book represents a unique and original effort to rethink cultural theory from the perspective of a new concept of cultural materialism, one that radically redefines postmodern formulations of the body. These terms are crucial to an understanding of the postmodern, to the extent that they address the concept of mass reproduction and reproduceability that characterizes our electronic media culture. Baudrillard uses the concepts of the simulacra-the copy without an original-and simulation. Moving away from the Marxist Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure. The publication of Simulacra et Simulation in 1981 marked Jean Baudrillard’s first important step toward theorizing the postmodern.
