THE INFLUENCING MACHINE OF NATALIJA A.
1919, Victor Tausk a Viennese psychoanalyst examines a patient, Miss Natalija A.
She tells him that her mind and body are being manipulated by a mysterious electrical apparatus operated secrety by physicians in Berlin.
2001, I create an interactive gallery installation inspired by the case history, connecting it with the origins of television technology as a propaganda machine in Nazi Germany. Simultaneously I encode a web based version in the form of an instruction manual for the diabolical apparatus.
2024, Dylan Marcheschi updates the Influencing Machine for modern web browsers.
