“Mea Culpa” (dir. Bruce Conner, 1981) for Brian Eno / David Byrne's album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Connor also made a video for “America is Waiting” (1982) but this is not available online.
Bruce Conner (1933–2008) was known for his work across media, including assemblage, film, painting, and photography. His experimental films integrated found footage with an interest in music, and may be considered precursors to the music video. The first was the twelve-minute A Movie (1958), which was originally planned to be part of an installation. Among others, Christian Marclay was influenced by this film for his own work. Dennis Hopper used the aesthetic for the acid trip scene in Easy Rider.
