“The Mirror in The Matrix of Media Ecology”

 This article “The Mirror in The Matrix of Media Ecology” by Kenneth Rufo is about the scene when Neo is about to enter the Matrix through the mirror. The mirror is like the beginning of what Neo is going to experience. This world that is to them the real world which describes the story of Lucan where it creates an ego. When Neo is entering this new world, there are a lot of changes through the mirror movements. Through the liquid exterior mirror, it represents a reborn occurring. The first scene which he goes through this river path describes him being born and then released to the Matrix. It’s like Neo was dead at one point, then alive and so on which leads to the statement that there was always a double him. There is a contraction between the real world and the matrix when it says that the iris always a battle among humanity to get freedom while in the matrix its “freedom”.  The mirror is the gateway to this new world where supernatural things occur and the rules of psychics don’t exist.
