The "all-seeing eye" becomes the "tree of knowledge"

As can be seen in this image, a tree emerges from the eye, which rests on the legs of an old man and is located within a screen (television or computer monitor). A tree whose branches wind like the body of a snake. A tree, therefore, that becomes a snake, which brings us to the iconography from the biblical story of the Garden of Eden. The Tree of Knowledge.

The red apple appears to be the acorn of a phallus. Is the Tree of Knowledge, then, being portrayed here as a media-dominated instrument of manipulation and control? That, at least, seems to be the artist's message.
