This dystopia is a visual metaphor for the expansion of information and social influence into a person’s personal space. It depicts the individual’s struggle for their soul, will, and privacy under the aggressive pressure of the modern or future world.
The television screen becomes a physical portal from which the generalized archetypes of fears and temptations of modern society attack—state coercion, censorship, biopolitics, or coercive pharmacology;
corruption and the power of capital, which buys human attention, and the use of basic instincts to distract.
The alien here symbolizes the unknown, external interference, control from behind the scenes.
