It was odd that they allowed people to dance and get stupid in a room with so much touchable installation art, particularly as the club was known to, ahem, distribute supplements to the nightclubbing experience vis a vis the friendly staff. The one and only time I went to Limelight in NYC, I was struck by the Giger Room, which I believe was the industrial dance room and a uniquely novel space.

This one, I think perfectly summarizes gun culture (which is fetishized in the milieu he served, but I've never seen it represented anywhere else in his art): He also took part in the occasional conceptual sculpture. Giger also designed some conceptual art for Aphex Twin and Chris Cunningham's troublesome video for "Windowlicker" In fact, it might be the best album cover to a terrible album ever.įar better, though far more NSFW, is his first album cover to the Shiver's Walpurgis: The hyperactive amount of detail and the strong emphasis on foreground was/is a hallmark of fantasy novels and prog album covers, but unlike the worst of those, no one could accuse him of skimping on perspective.īrain Salad Surgery is probably better known for its sleeve than the music within, which is to everyone's benefit. Of course, he's probably best known for his Necronomicon paintings, which provided the blueprint for the atmospheric production design behind the "biomechanical" world of the Alien films. It's sad that only in death could I, and probably too many other, comprehend this. Almost so much so that his influence was underplayed in the world of the grim. corruption as infantilization- became pantheon, backdrop. By the time I was old enough to purchase whatever I pleased, I guess I had forgotten about him or moved into different circles of interest.Ĭo-opted a million times without credit, Giger's style- embossed surfaces, machinal veins, metallic grays, cold and dead terrain, beautifully hideous mutation, grotesque reptilian eroticism, perverted innocence vs. As a result, like the Heavy Metal magazines he used to contribute to, I never had the urge (or the expendable allowance money) to purchase one of his books and hide it from my parents (reactions to Dead Kennedys records and The Satanic Bible had not been favorable). Giger existed in that space where kids always dared to go, but adults were far too afraid to. The name is deeply embedded in that culture of sci-fi/horror films, comic books, sexual confusion, and heavy metal music.
