In a cramped 1970s concrete vault, a cryptanalyst watches fine silica powder on a glass drafting table organize into an impossible, self-assembling mandala of concentric binary nodes driven by an unearthly sub-audible carrier wave. Shot on Kodak 5254 with an Angenieux zoom, the frame has a muted, desaturated palette, lifted murky blacks, and warm halation blooming around the overhead fluorescent tubes.
