Monkey Drummer

Each flesh-and-blood body part juts from a black steel appendage and acts human, while being controlled mechanically.

The owner of the different body parts playing in the video is Sigtryggur Baldursson,[1] a founding member of Icelandic rock band The Sugarcubes, and a retired member of the band Kukl.

Thought it would be really amazing to see a 21st Century one that was drumming to something ridiculously insane like a really fast Aphex Twin track."

Head puppetry was performed by Paul "Slash" Morris and Justin Flack.

The video was commissioned by the Anthony d'Offay Gallery in London and was meant to be a companion piece to his Flex commercial, but it was not completed in time for the exhibition in September 2000 and instead made its debut at the Venice Biennale's 49th International Exhibition of Art in June 2001.
