“Blue pill or red pill?” The Matrix (1999)
The concept of utility is gradually becoming more and more nebulous among the objects that surround us. What we now demand of these silent companions on the road of live is to keep us company, to make us small, or in the best cases to give us a thrill. Hormonal chemicals influenced by the chemistry of materials. Happy Pills are Murano glass placebos that, with their shapes and colors want to take the place of pharmacological solutions.
