What to do after the orgy?

With modern art we have experienced the freedom, and therefore the excess, in art and today we want to keep up the party that has already ended, by playing the same songs, have the same talk and trying keep dancing pretending this is not the end.

Art, or our contemporary world, has explored all aspects of life and its materialistic culture. With monetary access and technology art have being free, and we see a world full of creative and no creative people producing with no limits. Like TV with more then 100 channels offering the most variates option of broadcasting, the internet where we can read and watch all kind of news and information, we become after a while indifferent. Everything, after the full exposition and exploration loose their mystery and consequently their sensuality to become no more than fetch. Meaning we become more interested on the idea of being informed than the information itself, on the idea of have access than the access itself, on the idea of products, sex and art than products, sex and art themselves. We live in a fetched world.

Now what? What to do after the orgy? How to face the emptiness feeling after the limitless enjoyment?
It looks like nobody knows, so they keep with the empt and useless talk since they have no more to talk about, the dull replayed music because there is nothing else to play, the same tired and indifferent dance, pretending the party is still on but it doesn't matter how hard we pretend, after the orgy all that is left is the empt dull after result.

Even the after party talk, fun and memories of the good, bad and silly moments has become nostalgic. We have so long make fun of the nostalgic orgy, of its pretending, that it is not funny any more.

We have lost all the mystery and seduction illusion world we once had to rely and believe only on this that Baudrillard calls the final illusion of reality or hyper-reality. The indifferent people, culture and mind we become that bring us back to the "inhuman rituals and phantasmagoria of the cultures preceding our own".
