Looks like:
- If you asked a concept artist to design a very obviously not-real parody of what an early 90s game console would look like
- The birthday present Wesley Crusher gets from an estranged relative in the b plot of an early episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation
- The headquarters of a midsize Japanese manufacturing firm built in 1992 in the suburbs of a prefectural capital
(It's actually from 1988)
People love transparent 90s stuff for good reason but this was the real pinnacle of design for computer machines.
To represent the mathematics going on inside.
