The work references the cybernetic principles of systems analysis and systems control by making use of the intrusive gaze of a microscopic camera, the auditory manipulation of brainwaves and by contrasting the cybernetic logic with the mythological content tied to the figure of a Greek sphinx.
While complex systems scientists talk about emergent phenomena and their work of developing policy models, a neuroscientific experiment and a microbiological investigation of cybernetic knowledge itself is simulated.
