I found the first visual aid in Chris Milk’s presentation “How Virtual Reality Can Create the Ultimate Empathy Machine” to be very boring. It did not appeal to me or my interests at all. Afterward‚ he opened up with honesty and passion about his love for Evel Knievel‚ and how he achieved his autograph… by getting sued by him.

can only be possible with technology and machinery. The movies The Truman Show and The Matrix brought a new critical and almost prophetical perspective to new technological mass media‚ and its manipulative behavior. Both movies deal with virtual reality and a world of dreams and lies‚ and both of them give their message quite similarly: with the help of a well-known allegory.

The most obvious similarity between the movie The Matrix‚ the cave analogy of Plato‚ and Descartes’ Meditation‚ is that all of these works doubt the reality of the world around us and call into question the validity of our sense perceptions. “Let us suppose‚” says Descartes‚ “that we are dreaming‚ and that all these particulars – namely‚ the opening of the eyes‚ the motion of the head‚ the forth-putting of the hands – are merely illusions” (Descartes‚ 1641‚ Meditations on First Philosophy).
