What is real in Matrix
After having an idea on 'What is real', and look at this image below. And at first I thought it was a photograph, a picture. But turn out, it is not. This is portrait painting. A photograph-like portrait painting by a highly skilled artist from Korea, named Joongwon Charles Jeong.
Don't believe your eyes?

zzang!
Joongwon Charles Jeong is a hyperrealist painter from the South Korea who uses acrylic paint on canvas for his works, and the portrait shown above is about a human-size large scale portrait painting.
And why is his paintings so realistic that can lie our eyes and think
that 'it is a photograph'? Every single one of his paintings are so
detailed, he even used small brushes to add in the details little by
little. No doubt, his works are amazing but it takes a lot of patience
and hard work.
Here is another one that I always thinking while I sitting inside a cinema watching a sci-fi films. I am always wondering, how it looks like behind the screen? What are the REAL and what are not real in those scenes. But I always fail to differentiate it, I know that scene probably is recorded with green screen, but I cant find out what is the thing that being edited in the scene.
After watched this video, come back to the question. What is Real? :}
