Dark City, combining the neo-noir and science fiction genres, did not receive the attention it deserved when it was released, much like many other works that boldly blended different genres to create a new fusion. Over time, the film developed a loyal fan base and became a cult classic. It follows the protagonist, John Murdoch, who has lost his memory. Murdoch finds himself as the prime suspect in a series of gruesome murders and is pursued by both the police and a mysterious group known as "The Strangers." He struggles to regain his lost memory while unravelling the dark secrets of the enigmatic city he encounters.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
