 ==How it works==
-The mashups works by reordering the first movie's frames (''Welt am Draht'') so they match the optical flow of the second movie (''The Matrix''). The outcome is a third movie which exhibits properties of both, frames and sound of the first movie and rhythm of the second movie.

+The piece utilizes a mechanism that compares frames of both sources. The first source dictates with its linearity the rhythm and flow of the second sources but at the same times breaking up its former linearity, creating a literally broken timeline that becomes the linear flow of the final piece.
+The technique used to achieve this is called optical flow, a mechanism to track the motion from one frame to the next. The analysis returns multiple vectors that indicate motion in the contents of these images. Motion hereby can be moving objects and persons but also movement of the camera's perspective. By finding images with the same motion vectors in a different source creates a completely new narration is based on the input source but exhibiting properties of the compared source.
