The Free Art & Technology Lab art collective, who had been championing a free and participative culture through their support of open source software, announced their closure and ‘total defeat’ in 2015 in the face of a loss of a stake in the future of the Internet. When put in combination with his earlier theories and work on Marx’s “kritik of kaptial”, it can be clearly seen that America’s current situation is the result of the capitalist structural change that occurred in the 1920s and have since been leading America as the epicenter of Baudrillard’s “hyperreality”. Baudrillard set off on a journey, similar to that of Alexis De Tocqueville, and noted his observations of the sign within America. As his theories expanded, he realized that one country, like no other, was the center of the sign and false realities: America. He noted that the referential objects were known as signs and continued his research through careful observation.
With further research, he found that the problem occurred at a much deeper level, where objects that were meant as mediums, such as pictures, were soon being valued for just as much, if not more, than the objects that they were meant to represent. Jean Baudrillard, a French philosopher who is widely known for his post-Marxism, post-structuralism, post-modernism, and contributions to pataphysics, began acknowledging that people would treat some objects with different levels of meaning that stretch far beyond the physical properties of the object.
