In parallel with the exhibition In Search of Vera Molnár, Pera Film brings the iconic The Matrix series, a cornerstone of sci-fi and action cinema, to the audience.
The exhibition In Search of Vera Molnár centers on the practice of Vera Molnár, one of the pioneers of computer art, and showcases works by contemporary artists inspired by her artworks. Molnár's artistic journey, which began with simple algorithms and established her as a digital art trailblazer, reveals how creative processes can transform into systematic inquiries. Zeros and Ones bridges the relationship between algorithms in Molnár's work and those of contemporary artists inspired by her with the groundbreaking algorithmic culture and digital art of The Matrix universe.
Premiering 25 years ago, The Matrix captivated audiences with its unique digital aesthetic, visual effects, and CGI technologies, while iconic elements like its "green code" influenced digital art and popular culture. Exploring themes such as artificial intelligence, algorithms, and virtual reality with philosophical depth, the series marked a turning point for digital worlds and interactive art. All four iconic films in the series can be viewed at the Pera Museum Auditorium from January 31 to February 16.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
You try to remember the future. A bird painted on the ceramic panel in a historical palace has found its place on the wall. The tiles of a church and a mosque have been painted on canvas. The pattern of a centuries-old ceramic plate appears before you on a velvet curtain.
