A machine labeled &#8220;SIMULATION&#8221; displays shapes, which change into other shapes at the press of a button.  Another machine with a keypad dispenses sheets of paper with rows of pixellated runes, some labeled with numbers.  Even a portrait of two young boys seems like it&#8217;s hiding a message, if only I knew how to begin interpreting the colors.  Some of this is clearly connected to things I&#8217;ve seen before, although the nature of the connection is obscure.
