Welcome to the real world

About the artwork

The new generations, masters of their lives, can choose between a blue and a red pill, like the mythological Morpheus in the film directed by the transgender Wachowski sisters, The Matrix, which even back in 1999 sensed the impending arrival of virtual reality, which today we would refer to as augmented, leaving us with the Hamletic statement “Welcome to the Material World”, poised between what is imagination and what is alienation in a world now animated only by Facebook and YouTube, a placebo of that boundless freedom.
