Tempest, does that picture have something to do with the Matrix???

If not, what is it from, because it looks like it's from that one Matrix animation cartoon they used to have...

No, not this one. This is a picture of the room-sized virtual reality display at the Brown University "Cave". The Cave creates an unusual reading experiences by having interactions between the text and the body of the reader. It begins as a reading and listening experience; texts appear on the Cave's walls, surrounding the reader and after a time, the words begin to come loose. The reader finds s/he can knock them back with his/her hand. Words peel faster and faster, struck words don't always return to where they came from, and words with nowhere to go can break apart. Eventually, when too many are off the wall, the rest peel loose, swirl around the reader, and collapse.

There is a video available that would probably explains better what it is.
