004. - Marcel Duchamp.

I thought of having some industrial type of 'control room' in this 'machine of consequence' with lots of monitors displaying the same video. A mood-creator rather than something epic and very important. As a video I thought of Anemic Cinema by Marcel Duchamp. Its hypnotic loop of rotating movements would be a good contrast to what we'd see in the enviorement.

But of course we can go the other way, and try some futuristic visualisations, typical ones, with numbers droping by (notice how the word 'typical' – in its futuristic sense – changed since the premiere of The Matrix), or some data-screens with a robot-model rotating in the corner.
Saying that I should we should try to avoid any The Matrix-reference. It could be just tacky.
Crème de la crème of futuristic fonts may be a The Designers Republic – a studio responsible for the visuals, packaging and manual for the PlayStation/Sega Saturn game Wipeout.
