"Bruce Conner was an artist whose filmmaking productions included 3 music videos that situated comfortably and uncomfortably where independent filmmaking meets rock 'n roll. These productions also reside where the record industry had yet to fully establish artistic music videos as a form of promotion. The work, described by Doug Harvey in LA weekly ' forged a strikingly androgynous American art vernacular... that hovers impossibly between figuration and abstraction, narrative and decoration, morbid nostalgia, and wallowing hedonism,' stunningly exemplifies how strong camera work and editing combined with a dynamic performance equals astonishing graphic artistry."—Notes by Louise Sandhaus about "Cosmic Ray"
