Lana and Lilly Wachowski have redefined the technically and
topically possible while joyfully defying audience expectations.
Visionary films like The Matrix trilogy and Cloud Atlas have made
them the world's most influential transgender media producers, and
their coming out retroactively put trans* aesthetics at the very
center of popular American culture. Cael M. Keegan views the
Wachowskis' films as an approach to trans* experience that maps a
transgender journey and the promise we might learn "to sense beyond
the limits of the given world." Keegan reveals how the filmmakers
take up the relationship between identity and coding (be it
computers or genes), inheritance and belonging, and how transgender
becoming connects to a utopian vision of a post-racial order. Along
the way, he theorizes a trans* aesthetic that explores the
plasticity of cinema to create new social worlds, new
temporalities, and new sensory inputs and outputs. Film comes to
disrupt, rearrange, and evolve the cinematic exchange with the
senses in the same manner that trans* disrupts, rearranges, and
evolves discrete genders and sexes.
