"The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity, as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation. The specialization of images of the world is completed in the world of autonomous image, where the liar has lied to himself. The spectacle in general, as the concrete inversion of life, is the autonomous movement of the nonliving."
Debord, Guy. Society of the Spectacle, Black & Red, 1983. #2

If all realities are illusions, and that our unique representations of these illusions are biased through the filtration of our sensory organs of choice - then yes, there is a disconnect between the real and the images we create to portray the real. We all live in one giant inorganic fantasy derived from reality.
