Unfortunately this is not about The Matrix so I will not go deep into it.
But it is interesting to consider humanity, not as the perfect (whatever
that could mean) organism, but rather as the symbiosis between the
oppressed and the oppressor. The resistance doesn’t really want to
defeat the oppressor. If it happens that the oppressor is destroyed, it
would be good if he could be resurrected. Then the whole “das Gute
gegen das Böse” ballet could start again.
What would happen if the freedom crack sucked in all suppression,
restriction or punishment?
I found the key of the former prison door as the ideal object to use as a
medium. It is an archetype of a key, I do not even need to show you a
photo of it- you know what it looks like. And it opens the “door” of the
prison, literary. Due to the technology, I was able to make an unlimited
amount of plastic replicas which can unlock the door. I called them Art
Keys and visitors could take them in exchange for whatever they think
the artwork is worth. I find it quite honest, especially the moment when
somebody exchanged an old condom for the new one. I should not say
it openly but the ‘real key is with me. A prison owner has an identical
steel copy. No one knows.
