Monika Radžiūnaitė's work, "Take, nothing will happen to you / Suscipe, non nolueritis," belongs to her "Hyperlink" series.
"Bonaventure, the Minister General of the Franciscan Order, who later earned the title Doctor Seraphicus (the Seraphic Doctor), wrote that multiformis sapientia Dei (the multiform wisdom of God) is clearly conveyed in Holy Scripture and is hidden within all knowledge and every nature. However, humanity, enticed by the cunning words of the serpent, "Suscipe, non nolueritis" (Take, nothing will happen to you), desired knowledge and, tempted by the limitations of its own intellect, failed to perceive the danger.
The Devil spoke with too thin a tongue and offered them something too ornate, obscuring their vision. Consequently, humanity, ultimately seduced like by sirens and led by a thirst for power, turned to Nereides monita (the teachings of the Nereids) – that is to say, to science."
