There's a feature interview with Chris Cunningham in the new issue of RES magazine, <the future of filmmaking>. [which I write for]... anyway, it has some choice quotes from Rich about "Chris is the only person I can be bothered to work with..." Chris's work has been seen in 'come to daddy,' squarepusher's 'come on my selector,' portishead's 'only you,' and madonna's 'frozen.' As for a reason why the new video is so controversial, here is an excerpt from the article by Peter Relic, RES contributor. "Chris Cunningham lies on his belly in a parking lot beside a derelict brown Chevy van with the words 'Bare As You Dare' spray-painted on its side. His Polaroid is aimed at a luscious triumvirate of stacked chicks in cream-colored bikinis draped across the leather interior of a white Mustang GT 4.6l convertible. The Mustang's chrome rims are fashioned in the stylized logo of the Aphex Twin... who reclines amidst the female talent with his feet splayed across white bucket seats, the toes of his black Adidas worn through to reveal the toes of his neon green socks... Cunningham will use Photoshop to replace the faces of the champagne-showering booty girls with Twin's grinning visage." As for Neuromancer, Gibson has given Cunningham his blessing. As Chris is an established visual artist, he has already created hundreds of storyboards for Neuromancer, which is slated for release in 2000. As for Kubrick's AI, Cunningham has designed some of the robots from the forthcoming picture. +odd
