FRAMEWORK

matrix

We live in an Age when everything changes in the blink of an eye.

Our conception of reality has ceased to be a physical reality to become a possible unreality.

Things may not be and be and Man reinvents himself as BEING.

The virtual ceases to be a virtuosity of the past towards the future, and begins to be a tool of the new realities in which we live. The dimensions are now different, inserted in the new world with new realities that may come to be, exist, almost complete, but totally virtual.

"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, in which you were so sure it was real?

What if you were unable to wake up from this dream?

How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? "
