"Cyclops" by Trevor Paglen (gameplay) I
🕑 Added 2024-05-08 10:03:00 +0000 UTCCYCLOPS is a journey through a world of mind-control experiments, psychological operations, and unexplained historical anomalies.
Featuring historical documents, games, films, and other media produced between the 1950s and early 1970s, CYCLOPS requires active engagement and participation. Players are tasked with reconstructing events, deciphering codes, conducting open-source intelligence investigations, and analyzing music, literature, and poetry to move through a work that is part treasure hunt, part unfiction, and part cybersecurity challenge.
The entry point for CYCLOPS is an emulated server containing a series of audio recordings. Some recordings are musical compositions, others are filled with voices reading letters and counting numbers, and others resemble static noise. Each track contains hidden puzzles leading to the interactive narrative on the CYCLOPS mainframe.
Through interactions with the mainframe and recordings, users reconstruct some of the most bizarre and disturbing projects in Cold War history.
