This work is based on a case history by the psychoanalyst and early follower of Freud, Victor Tausk. In 1919, Natalija A., a former student of philosophy living in Vienna came to Tausk complaining that a bizarre electrical apparatus, which she believed was operated secretly by physicians in Berlin was manipulating her thoughts. The installation attempts to materialize Natalija's hallucinations for the viewer while at the same time alluding to the development of real influencing machines, in the form of radio and television in Germany in the '30s.
