Thank you so much. The source is, well, on the one hand incredibly popular, on the other, fairly obscure in the arena I am presenting it, and I did want to at least get...I don't know, the message, the tone across to those who aren't familiar with it. It's such a potent subject for an interactive, technological piece of media to embrace, but at the same time so unusual and it does it with such a mix of body horror and transcendence... As you say, lovecraftian horrors giving way to leafy utopias. Thanks so much for being my sounding board on it. <3

(Plus we all know how I feel about lady messiahs with ambiguous technological relationships... :p)
