NYC is the Matrix
We could talk about how these aerial shots of NYC, courtesy of Gothamist, feel like stills from a new Star Wars movie, or like what Neo saw when he tried “the jump” in the first Matrix film. Or, we could be slightly less nerdy, and say they represent a stunning new angle from which to contemplate our urban spaces. But that sounds academic and pretentious. So let’s just say that these shots are epic, and leave it at that.
