Cunningham has had close ties to [[Warp Records]] since his first production for [[Autechre]]. His infamous video for [[Aphex Twin|Aphex Twin's]] "[[Come to Daddy]]" is perhaps his most well known. His video for [[Björk|Björk's]] "[[All Is Full of Love]]" won multiple awards, including an [[MTV]] music video award for Breakthrough Video and was nominated for a [[Grammy]] for Best Short Form Music Video. It can still be seen at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] in New York. His video for [[Aphex Twin|Aphex Twin's]] "[[Windowlicker]]" was nominated for the "Best Video" award at the Brit Awards 2000. He also directed [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s "[[Frozen (song)|Frozen]]" video.


His video work, "[[flex (film)|flex]]", was first shown in 2000 at the [[Royal Academy of Arts]], and subsequently at the [[Anthony d'Offay Gallery]] and other art galleries. Later, he released [[Monkey Drummer]] in the same set.

Hello. I am a Wikipedian who likes subjects of FICTIONAL behaviour. I have an IQ of 156, and am glad to share my knowledge. (Don't get too exotic, though!)

Table of contents

Any article with more than three headings automatically gets a table of contents (TOC). The TOC is placed above the first section heading. All text above the first section heading is commonly referred to as the lead section. Depending on the overall length of the article, this introduction should not exceed one to four paragraphs in length and should summarize the article's key points.

If you do not like the TOC placement in an article, you can move it by inserting __TOC__ where you would like it placed. If you do not want a TOC on a particular page, add the text __NOTOC__ anywhere on the page; if you, personally, do not like the TOC feature, you can disable it in your user preferences.
