A beautiful view and a ridiculous Hollywood banger, it was something along the lines of, ‘Oh fuck, Tom Cruise is a demi-god. We have abandoned all ideas and images of past religious structures. We have both turned to the reality of life, this beautiful view and the reality of digital existence and the power to be many at once. New mythologies to live by.’ Monsters are real. We created them in our work. We brought them to life with visual sacrifices. We let them roam and we let them attack.”
