Much of Sumberg's work stems from an emotional, deeply personal response to the Croajingolong National Park, located on the South-East coast of Australia. Australian artists who have inspired Sumberg include Clarice Beckett and Ken Whisson, the former for her mastery of mood and understatement and the latter for his linear, expressive brushwork. Many recent paintings, such as 'Discombobulation 2', 2004, include abstract elements combined with broadly evoked terrain, foliage and large bodies of water. Poetic and philosophical titles are important to Sumberg.

Tactile stimuli (egg foam carpeting, velvet walls), auditory stimuli (whispered binaural readings from Henri Bergson), and visual stimuli (layered videos reflected in mirrors, colored smoke) combined to blur the boundaries between perception and reality, creating a sense of "euphoric discombobulation." Weitz has described her use of physical props and pigments in her videos as an "anti-CGI aesthetic" inspired by 1970's SciFi. Weitz has had solo exhibitions at Young Projects (Los Angeles), Eastern Star Gallery (Los Angeles), Chimento Contemporary (Los Angeles), Cunthaus (Tampa, FL) and The Suburban (Oak Park, IL). In 2013 she moved to Los Angeles, before her moving Weitz was a tenured professor at the University of South Florida.

The term describes the theory that when a great power's position as hegemon is threatened by an emerging power, there is a significant likelihood of war between the two powers. Or in coiner Graham Allison's words: > Thucydides's Trap refers to the natural, inevitable discombobulation that > occurs when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling power...[and] when > a rising power threatens to displace a ruling power, the resulting > structural stress makes a violent clash the rule, not the exception. To advance his thesis, Allison led a case study by the Harvard University Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs which found that among 16 historical instances of an emerging power rivaling a ruling power, 12 ended in war.

By happenstance, the song's lyrics are about "discombobulation", according to Kulash, and included the line "gravity's just a habit that you're pretty sure you can't break", making it a perfect fit for the video. Once they had secured S7 and made necessary arrangements over several months, the band traveled to Moscow to develop the video, spending three weeks of training and filming at the Roscosmos State Corporation center. The first week was used to train and get used to the flight patterns while experimenting with various motions and props they could use. By the second week, they had decided on what elements would be in the video and used subsequent flights to plan out the choreography, and used the third week to film the various takes.

Jihadists have adopted the zeal of deconstructing language, meaning, and metaphor ... [with] jihadi jingles and their hip-hop-esque scratching of modern-day military operations with ancient images of martyrdom. Next time you wonder what oppression-loving, surface-to-air-missile-toting reactionaries with their entrenched tribal values of honor and shame stand for regarding the transparency of speech and language, have a listen to the way they love to glom onto the propaganda of anti-globalism.... When the world feels like it's fragmenting into a million pieces, I don't look for poetry of fragmentation. I don't look for an aesthetic of discombobulation. Instead, I look for poetry of persuasive metaphor and communion and renewal ... and I look for poetry that contains at least the possibility, necessity, and essential spirit of coherent empathy and understanding.... Now that's just me because I feel that practitioners of neomodernist and postmodernist poetry would easily argue through their poems that even fanatical jihadism is a project of postmodernism for its refusal of modernity as a battleground against Western imperialism and global markets.
