E.P. Taylor and Situated Storytelling

Here we are at Windfields Estate. For more information about E.P.Taylor and his horse Northern Dancer, follow the links.

However, a simulation appears in the photo above.

And a critical analysis of simulation was put forth by Jean Baudrillard and is summarized here.

In my personal view, simulation is often better than the reality and my pony Dandy was better than Northern Dancer any day. She kicked my mother in the head (accidentally) which was a memorable experience. Fortunately, just a surface wound. Mother is still around.

And that, standing here, is a situated story.
