Simulation


The word simulation has Latin roots and was first known to be in use around the 14th century (Merriam-Webster online). Simulation is the recreation of an experience or feeling. This recreation can blur the line between what is reality and what is recreated reality. However, if both foster the same experience for the mind, it can be indistinguishable which experience is more real. In a sense, both can be real. Simulation can foster an enhancement of reality (Weberman 233). Early film popularized the idea of recreated reality. The film Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat in 1896 (Lumière brothers) jumps to mind as a film simply depicting the arrival of a train at a station – a simple happening, but groundbreaking when recreated in light and projected on a screen as never before. Computers and digital photography took such recreation to new heights.
