As far as the cursed precursor of the unintended consequences is concerned
what about poor old Oedipus?  In fact, in Voltaire's Oedipe (1718) the
phrase is actually used "Tremble, unfortunate King, an invisible hand
suspends above your head" (Emma Rothschild Economic Sentiments p. 119
where also she cites Macbeth "the bloody and invisible hand").  So what
better in a visual treatment of the invisible to add some pizzaz and gore
by showing scenes from Oedipe and the Scottish play? That would raise the
eyebrows of the impartial spectator.  Just remember how John Carpenter in
the Dark Star (1974) explained phenomenology to the bomb with disastrous
unintended consequences.
