Creator of The Matrix code reveals its mysterious origins

 

Simon Whiteley, creator of The Matrix code, attributes the design to his wife, who's from Japan.

 

"I like to tell everybody that The Matrix's code is made out of Japanese sushi recipes," says Whiteley, a production designer from England who's now based at the Animal Logic animation and visual-effects studio in Sydney. He scanned the characters from his wife's Japanese cookbooks. "Without that code, there is no Matrix."
