All Is Full of Love: Difference between revisions

"All Is Full of Love" was the fifth and final single by Icelandic singer Björk from her album Homogenic. The version of the song used in the video is actually the originally intended mix, while the version on Homogenic is a remix (the Choice Mix) originally released on the [[Jóga}} single. The controversial video was directed by Chris Cunningham and featured two intimate robots.

The video won multiple awards, including a Grammy for best video and an MTV music award for Breakthrough Video. It is on permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is widely considered the standard in CGI effects. The song itself was also critically acclaimed, winning numerous awards.

In the video, a robotic Björk lies on a white platform in the centre of a sterile room and is operated on by two mechanical instruments. Later on, two Björk robots kiss passionately as machines work on electronics in their backs.

The video is controversial for several reasons: it displays sexual affection between two non-humans; there is also same-sex physical intimacy; and it depicts a futuristic form of human mechanisation, which can be disturbing to some viewers.^{[citation needed]}
