Simulationstyle

Simulationstyle refers to a broad category of artistic and design approaches that aim to mimic or evoke the appearance and feel of simulated environments or digital representations. This style can manifest in various media, including video games, graphic design, photography, and even physical installations. The core idea is to create an aesthetic that is recognizably artificial, often prioritizing elements that highlight the underlying digital nature of the creation.

Key characteristics of simulationstyle often include distinct visual cues such as pixelation, low-polygon models, cel-shading, or a deliberate lack of photorealism. It can also encompass the use of glitch art elements, distorted textures, or environments that appear as if rendered with specific software limitations. The overall effect can range from nostalgic, recalling early video game graphics, to futuristic, imagining advanced or incomplete digital worlds. The intention is not necessarily to deceive the viewer into believing something is real, but rather to engage with the aesthetic of simulation itself, often exploring themes of reality, perception, and artificiality. This style often embraces imperfections and computational artifacts as stylistic choices.
