Zeros and Ones

In parallel with the exhibition In Search of Vera Molnár, Pera Film brings the iconic The Matrix series, a cornerstone of sci-fi and action cinema, to the audience.

The exhibition In Search of Vera Molnár centers on the practice of Vera Molnár, one of the pioneers of computer art, and showcases works by contemporary artists inspired by her artworks. Molnár's artistic journey, which began with simple algorithms and established her as a digital art trailblazer, reveals how creative processes can transform into systematic inquiries. Zeros and Ones bridges the relationship between algorithms in Molnár's work and those of contemporary artists inspired by her with the groundbreaking algorithmic culture and digital art of The Matrix universe.

Premiering 25 years ago, The Matrix captivated audiences with its unique digital aesthetic, visual effects, and CGI technologies, while iconic elements like its "green code" influenced digital art and popular culture. Exploring themes such as artificial intelligence, algorithms, and virtual reality with philosophical depth, the series marked a turning point for digital worlds and interactive art. All four iconic films in the series can be viewed at the Pera Museum Auditorium from January 31 to February 16.

Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.
