Thomas Anderson leads a double life: by day, he is an ordinary computer programmer, and by night, he becomes Neo, a hacker known in underground circles. However, Neo senses that something is missing in his life. This unease deepens when he encounters the enigmatic Trinity and the charismatic leader Morpheus. Morpheus reveals the truth to Neo: Humanity has been enslaved by artificial intelligence and is trapped in a simulation called the Matrix. Morpheus believes Neo is "The One," destined to escape this illusionary world.

Winner of four Academy Awards, The Matrix blends science fiction and action with profound philosophical themes, questioning "reality" and "free will." Its groundbreaking visual effects and fight choreography have inspired countless works in cinema and beyond.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
