Chris Cunningham

Video artist, director, producer and creator Chris Cunningham's needs no introduction. His marriage of the audio and the visual stands up as truly arresting pieces of art.

His body of work is as original as it is ground breaking. This will be a live chance to witness Chris’s original vision in a rare performance. A major coup for the festival; Electric Picnic is one of only a handful of festivals Chris Cunningham will play across the globe this summer. Combining original and remixed music, sound and vision in the way only Cunningham knows how.

Whether it’s his Grammy award winning video for Björk's "All Is Full of Love“, or his already infamous treatments of Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy" and "Windowlicker". Chris tells a story of technology and how we are becoming “the ghosts in our own machines”. Inextricably linked to it…

This performance will be a 55 minute live piece spread over three screens. Coming from a man who normally needs only 6 minutes to change someone’s perception this is going to be something special….Come to daddy?
