Postmodernism vs. Hyperreal and Imagery

     I found these two articles very interesting but the article emphasizing on postmodernism confused me. I understood the point about how Van Gogh painted his version of the Peasant Shoes and Andy Warhol depicted his views on the Diamond Shoes. During their lives these shoes seemed to depict the time period and it is different depending on when they lived.
     For the second article on Hyperreal and Imagery, i found it interesting how adults go to Disney Land to escape reality by visiting a mythical land (that is physical) even though the magic of Disney Land isn't real. It is more realistic and productive to venture to Los Angeles or New York since they are real places. America is not represented by Disney Land, it revolves around the physical places of reality that contribute to ideological reality.
