"[3] The stop-motion promotional video for "The Box" stars actress Tilda Swinton as "The Traveler", a person (or an alien) unstuck from time.

The Traveler phases into existence, witnesses human life in public transit and traffic, as well as its effects on nature, seen through detritus in a river and a plant sapling growing through a brick wall.

According to co-director Jes Benstock, the stop motion concept was inspired by "Neighbours by Norman McLaren, as well as a great Australian animation called Palisade", while the style of the video borrowed heavily from Nicolas Roeg’s Man Who Fell to Earth, which starred David Bowie – "the main character is wearing a pilot’s hat and a long coat."

Orbital's Phil and Paul Hartnoll also make a split-second appearance in the video, in a laneway scene.

The 2002 video game Hitman 2: Silent Assassin has a version of "The Box" as the main screen and intro song.
