The Freud-Lissitzky Navigator takes the visitor on a journey through an architectural simulation of Freud's theories. Scenes from Sergei Eisenstein's first attempts at a film exploration of Freud's and Lissitzky's original concept of visualisation from the thirties feature alongside subsequent attempts undertaken in the USA. Following the parameters of a conventional computer game, the visitor embarks on an unusual tour. The strange mode of navigation not only changes the course of events, but also the structures of perception in virtual space.
