Issue 278 of Vie des arts, under the theme of simulacra, offers critical reflections on the notion of hyperreality. The articles in this issue explore our relationship with facts and their significance in an era marked by hyperstimulation and information overload. How many layers must we peel away before we reach the truth? How can an authority establish itself and, with it, a norm, a narrative that it controls? What is the space for doubt, what is the weight of evidence? From the latest technological trends in artificial intelligence to the crisis of representation marked by the advent of photography, via the absurdity of bureaucracy, this brand new issue, as committed as it is engaging, sets out to answer these questions.
