'...bow down and ask the oracle your question...'

After evaluating a user's question, the oracle responds with a relevant quote from Coppe's A Fiery Flying Roll which provides the user with either an answer to his/her query or a new way of looking at his/her situation. Use of this Ranter text from 1649 plays upon the eccentricity of futurist religious zealotism - as it promises to be a text in which 'all hearts are laid open; and wherein the worst and foulest of villanies, are discovered.'

Aesthetically, the oracle takes images from early Constructivist film and recombines them to create a machine based upon the power of the gaze. The question is first absorbed by the large close-up of the eye and is then transferred to the embodiment of a blind female head. Here, it is processed, and the response is sent back to the user through the woman's third eye (a movie projector) - completing the journey from the visual to the mental - a machine to produce meaning.
