Falling characters create a stream of text generated in real time from the user’s speech.
The speech recognition system converts words into pulsating code, reminiscent of the symbolic notation of the world known from The Matrix.
Sushi combines the pop-cultural motif of digital code with a reflection on the place of human speech in a reality shaped by artificial intelligence.

Perhaps the most ingrained pop culture “falling” text is the distinctive pattern created for the Wachowski sisters’ Matrix film series.
Therefore, the miniatures included a recreation of this pattern. As with the other installments of Triptych, this time, the miniature utilizes the browser’s built-in speech recognition engine (it’s worth noting that all three thumbnails within Triptych allow you to select a recognized language from among the many languages and dialects built into most popular browsers).
Apparently, the original text displayed in the film came from the menu of a Japanese restaurant where the filmmakers met. However, Sushi focuses on the language capabilities of AI – after all, The Matrix is a story about a conflict between humans and thinking, conscious machines.
