THE MATRIX EFFECT, 2000

Jankowski's The Matrix Effect, 2000 was created for the MATRIX series at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. For this work, rather than transform himself into a dove, Jankowski transformed the artists of the MATRIX series into children. He proposed the "Matrix effect," a supernatural age reversal of the individuals who were committed to new art, resulting in seven year old versions of John Baldessari, Sol LeWitt, Adrian Piper, and others, who offer their share of commentary on contemporary art.
