How can we revisit a landmark of global cinema and offer a fresh, contemporary interpretation? MATRIX at COSM is a groundbreaking experience that reimagines the cult classic Matrix through a whole new lens. Powered by COSM’s immersive technology, all familiar markers are shattered and the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. Viewers no longer watch the film—they step inside it. A vast LED dome, constantly shifting sets, and fully immersive sensory spatialization… Welcome to the Matrix.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Matrix, COSM Los Angeles is launching the very first shared reality cinematic experience. For the occasion, Jay Rinsky of Little Cinema has entrusted Bruno Ribeiro, creative director of STROBOSCOPE, with the artistic direction and staging of this immersive event. The collaboration is rooted in a shared vision of cinema: an experiential, spectacular form that transcends the frame. The film becomes the foundation for a journey that’s lived through the body, in space, and collectively.
This immersive reinterpretation calls for a meticulously crafted visual staging, blending cinema, opera, and digital installation. The approach is inspired by theater and informed by live show aesthetics: How do you spark emotion with just a few lighting cues? The Matrix’s legendary soundtrack guides and propels us through a powerful choreography. The ambition was to imagine a stage setup with multiple functions—like an opera—evolving and responsive to light.
