  • With or Without Crowd Noise for the NHL

    With or Without Crowd Noise for the NHL
    Jan 13 2021

    Hockey without fans. It’s what Baudrillard called “hyperreality.” An illusion we (kind of) know isn’t real, but (kind of) accept, because we need it. Watching NHL games in empty stadiums with phantom “crowds” cheering; we know there’s no one there but we’re comfortable — even comforted — by the illusion.
