the technologically produced confusion between reality and unreality, and a
critical application of relevant thinkers, mostly, and necessarily
contemporary, such as Baudrillard, Jameson, Zizek, Lash, Jean-Luc Godard,
the Wachowski brothers, Paul Verhoeven and David Cronenberg who, in
books, journals, on web sites or through cinema, have considered the
philosophical, sociological, technological and visual aspects relevant to this
investigation. It is important to note that the recurrent use of recent authors
and electronic sources is indicative of a peculiar characteristic: this
phenomenon is emerging now and thus it is appropriate that its extensive
social, psychological, economical and political relevance receives in-depth
investigation with not just established, canonical discourses, but also with
the most up-to-date critical and analytical tools.

The selection of these authors and theories, such as those that refer to
Hyperreality, Simulation, Cyberspace, the prospects of society in a
technological mediated world, visual media, the development of Virtual
Reality and the present and future of cinema, have helped to guide and
establish a discourse to create critical perspectives and conclusions about the
current confusion of reality and unreality, its sources, anatomy and potential.
This thesis intends to be analytical but also has the characteristic of being a
provocation; a provocation as it proposes to provoke a reaction to the
phenomenon of the confusion of reality and unreality through a multi-angular
analysis. With this in mind, the film that accompanies these words,
Luna,
becomes not only a practical illustration of the confusion of reality and
unreality but a subjective examination of the use and influence of
technological development in such disorientation. Theory and practice, text
and film, are not only compatible; they produce a homogeneous and unique
body of work. The objective is to create an ‘interactive’ text; a work which is
concatenated through all its extension.

In addition to confusion, paradoxes are a key element in this research,
both in theory and practice. In this way
Luna is outlined within the paradox
and conflict of choosing to be confused. The film is intentionally narrated
from the subjective point of view of someone who is (un)consciously
