-The project focuses on the truth and reality of the images we see. Taking any kind of video source as input, the stream's audio channel is continously played back. The corresponding frame is calculated from similarity to all previous frames. The most similar frame will be displayed. Each new frame is then placed in a database for comparison with forthcoming frames. This creates a steadily growing and learning mass which&mdash;after some time&mdash;can replace ''reality'' with frames from the past. At that point no clear distinction between reality and fiction can be made anymore.
+Two movies dealing about the question of what is real, 'The Matrix' (1999) by the Wachowski brothers and 'World on Wires' (1973, orig. title 'Welt am Draht') by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, are left to the electronic brain of a computer to construct, with its countless circuits instructed by a programmer, a reality partly constructed partly real is build to explore reality and its constructed nature. The outcome is a formal critique of (mass-)media's reality.
