Wachowsky Andy and Larry.
> The Matrix. (1999 for the first episode) Film trilogy by Larry and Andy Wachowsky. Wikipedia. A philosophic machine, or a philosophic mix... as well as film.
- This work is digital both by its use of a many special effects and by its subject, virtual reality. The comments about this film seem to ignore (or underestimate) the fact that it was a conscious composition of many philosophical conceps, opening endless debates about its meaning... these debates contributing to the marketing or the product. Here, the full chapter (40 pages) of Jenkins, 2007, presenting the film as one of the first large scale transmedia project, is particularly instructive. < Matrix, machine philosophique. by Badiou et al.

- Quoted by [Balpe], [Popper 2] p. 161.
< Le voyage artistique à Bayreuth. by Albert Lavignac Delagrave, Paris, circa 1895. (Has been republished as paperback, see Amazon for exemple).
- His theoretical essay "The Art-Work of the future" has been translated in English and made available on line by Ashton Elps on belgacom.net. Dance, music and poetry form the basic artistic trilogy, unite in the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerd), where painting and architecture find their true role in providing the environment. But let's notice that Wagner, though a user of machines, for instance for the Fafner dragon, does not base this study on technology, but on Man's nature.
